A Monday morning visit looking for the Lawrence Peregrines, and a joy to discover the banded (6/4) male perched atop one of the triangular pediments on the SE corner of the New Balance building.  the lighting was extraordinary and terrific views of the male.  After a while, something caught its attention, and he launched into flight.  It always requires so much patience to wait for one of those exciting “takeoff in flight’ moments…..but so worth the wait!

One of those beautiful mornings with bright sun and cobalt blue skies. Discovered the male peregrine perched on one of the triangular pediments located at the SE corner of the New Balance building just above the intersection of Union and Merrimack Streets.  It is always nice to have such nice looks under excellent lighting conditions.  A further bonus to be able to document a clear view of the 6/4 leg bands of this long-time resident and king of the roost!  This peregrine was a 2001 hatch year falcon from Manchester, NH and is still going strong!
