The peregrines are now being seen together more often. On colder days they are found near the hot air vents on the south side of the Verizon Cell Tower.

Peregrine Falcon, male cleaning bill
February 18, 2015 in Near the Clock Tower
The male Peregrine has been moving back and forth between the nearby Verizon Cell Tower on the north side of the river and the a number of the regular perch locations around the Clock Tower complex. This morning, the male, with silver federal leg band in view, was perched on the rooftop corner above the entrance to 200 Merrimack Street. It was fascinating to watch the peregrine go through a bill cleaning process, likely after having a meal. It was quite cold but with blue skies and bright sunlight!

Peregrine female near Clock Tower!
February 17, 2015 in Near the Clock Tower
The new female peregrine has been making visits to some of the regular perch locations around the Clock Tower. This morning she was seen hanging on the short black iron beam just below the roof line on the south side of 200 Merrimack Street. This has been a very regular perch location this time of year. It provides a nice spot out of the wind and in the morning sun. She is seen here scratching her head and showing no leg band!

Peregrine male and new female friend!
February 11, 2015 in Verizon Cell Tower
What a pleasure to observe the male peregrine today with a new special female friend in close proximity, especially with Valentine’s Day closing in!! The two peregrines seems to do a lot of looking at each other with a clear romantic buzz in the air! They were perched in nearby ledge locations on the Verizon Cell Tower. They moved to a series of nearby perch locations with a close eye on each other. It sure felt like they were in some kind of courtship mode and testing each other for the willingness to make the next move. Stay tuned and Happy Valentine’s Day!

The male peregrine knows that breeding time is approaching and is wondering if the love of his life and mother of his many offspring is ready to return. He has entertained a few dates but nothing that has lasted in any observable way. He is looking for love and continues his solo vigil!
