The Woburn Peregrines continue to be seen almost daily in and around the Holton Street area in Woburn. They are frequently seen nestled on ledges in and around the nearby rock quarries!

Made a short visit off of Holton Street in Woburn and found the unbanded male using his talons for bill cleaning. In the process of bill cleaning, the peregrine provides a look at it’s legs to observe if it has a leg band! Another bright sunny morning with very chilly temps…..Groundhog Day 2016…SPRING IS COMING!!!!…America’s most iconic weather forecaster, the Pennsylvania groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, forecasts this after not seeing his shadow at Gobbler’s Knob in the town northeast of Pittsburgh!!

Beautiful clear skies this morning with temps in the low 30’s, with winds out of the north at 15, and gusts over 20. The male peregrine was seen in Woburn, initially in flight and then settling in on the side wall of the quarry. The male has no leg bands. It was making a few squawking sounds and then calmed down.

An afternoon visit to observe Woburn Peregrines and found the female perched on a favorite utility pole basking in the later afternoon sun. Note the leg bands (73/BD) on the lower left leg. Today the male was perched on a rocky outcropping nearby, but not much interaction between the two peregrines.

The male peregrine was perched atop a rocky outcropping enjoying the views and the afternoon sun with his new mate nearby. He watched her fly and return a number of times, but made no effort to change his position or move at all!

A return visit later Saturday afternoon provided another opportunity to observe and photograph this beautiful Peregrine Falcon. Again, after 30 plus minutes of preening, something caught it’s attention and it lifted off and roared past in hot pursuit! The bi-color leg band is just visible on the tucked in left leg!
