The Lawrence Peregrines really enjoy the hot air exhaust vents at the Verizon Tower and tend to stay close to the vents.  Checked on them this morning and only found the male perched on one of the ledges.  The winds were strong at almost 20 MPH with gusts up to the mid-twenties.  Skies were clear with lots of bright sunshine and temps in the low 20’s and wind chill in the low single digits!  The left leg color bands are just barely visible.

The Peregrines continue to huddle in the cold weather on the exhaust vent ledges on the south side of the Verizon Cell Tower in Lawrence.  Stopped by this morning and observed the male peregrine.  It was a blustery morning with winds blowing out of the west around 22 MPH with guts up to 30+ MPH…mostly cloudy skies and temps just below 20 degrees F and a windchill around zero!

Went by the Ayer Mills Clock Tower this afternoon looking for the local peregrines….no luck!  Winds were blowing close to 20 MPH with guts up to 30 MPH; cloudy skies with a few breaks, and temps in the mid-20’s.  In light of colder temps, made a pass by the Verizon Cell Tower….only to find both peregrines nestled near one another on south facing upper floor warm air exhaust vents!
