This male peregrine was seen atop the SE corner area of the New Balance building rooftop. These triangular pediments are regular perch locations for the peregrines. The peregrine is facing the sun and overlooking the transportation building across the street.

The male Peregine in Woburn provided terrific looks while in flight this morning…..large aerial loops… and then came to rest in a bunch of open branches providing nice views of the perch!

What a treat to watch this pair of Peregrine Falcons as they playfully flew around the Ayer Mill Clock Tower and then landed and perched on the weathervane in beautiful late afternoon fall sunlight!

One of the peregrines was seen this morning on a short protruding steel beam above 250 Merrimack Street on the south side of the building just below the roofline. This is a favorite morning perch and provides abundant morning sun and warmth!

The Woburn Peregrines frequently choose to hang out in a number of nooks and crannies on a vertical rock ledge. At times, they may be partially hidden by the shade of outcroppings or nearby vegetation. It’s always nice to scan and find them in some of these hideaway locations!

An afternoon visit to the Clock Tower provided a nice opportunity to watch one of the Peregrines singing from the weathervane!

An afternoon visit to the Ayer Mill Clock Tower under bright sun and blue skies provided nice views of one of the Lawrence Peregrines! The peregrine was just loafing and remained perched during course of twenty minute visit.
April 1, 2015 in In the Nest Box
The peregrines are now spending significant time in the nestbox and exhibiting all kinds of courtship behavior including mutual ledge displays and lots of nest scraping by both male and female. The female was bowing and calling out to the male from the outside perch. The male flew into the nestbox and then left shortly thereafter. These are all signs of courtship and hopefully will result in eggs being laid in next few days!
