I figured someone should fill in for locatek's annual reminder of the dramatic lives of the resident peregrine falcons. There is a local pair here on the W. side of Santa Cruz who have been very vocal for the past 2 months. Today, and quite often, I have heard one of them calling as he cruised the neighborhood looking for tasty treats.

NY City has a few. Seems the birds are adapting. Need a few more and of different types to solve the pigeon problem.
