Always a treat to see one of the Lawrence Peregrines perched on the Ayer Mill Clock Tower weathervane.  This has been one of the most regular perch locations and afford the resident peregrines a wonderful 360 degree view of their world.  This was a late afternoon sighting under clear skies and warm temps!

With wind out of the west at just under 10 MPH, 80 degrees, and clear blue skies, had a nice opportunity to observe the adult male Peregrine Falcon atop the Ayer Mill Clock Tower.  The male was seen in the late day sun perched on the back strut of the weathervane….a favorite perch over the years!

One of the favorite morning perches is on a ledge above the west face of the Clock Tower.  A cool spot away from direct sun and rising temps.  Well hidden and easy for takeoff in hot pursuit!

On many mornings during the hot stretches, one of the peregrines is likely found in the shade on the west side of the Clock Tower.  One of the popular perches is on one of the ledges diagonally just above the clock face.  It provides the peregrine with shade, plenty of height, and a nice amount of space to loaf for a while with excellent views to the west and over the Merrimack River!
