Peregrine falcon

[sydnie7]

Great to see that they are thriving in another urban area! Peregrines have been encouraged in many large U.S. cities, partly as a natural pigeon control force and there are several "peregrine cams" where you can watch them nest and raise their young. Just Google "peregrine camera" for links.

I used to live in the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles (yuck) but near a large flood control/park area. Peregrines nested on the grounds of the nearby electric generating plant and I'd see them fly over occasionally.

Go raptors!
