There was a brief flyover/circle overhead by a Peregrine of BR as she sat on the top SE corner of Bradfield yesterday after work. No dive bombing or talons. The PEFA then continued on toward the Vet School area. Ezra was sitting in the 2012 nest cup at the time and appeared unconcerned. Not sure that the PEFAs have been "driven off" per se, as we haven't seen any recent confrontations. We are assuming that the PEFAs may have made a play for territory earlier this winter when they (she) attempted to dive-bomb BR, talons down over at Humphreys unsuccessfully. We're guessing that they have a scrape elsewhere to tend to / defend. -----Original Message----- From: Liisa S. Mobley Sent: Friday, March 13, 2015 12:37 PM To: Karel V.

I wonder if the redtails have driven off the peregrines, then? Thanks, Liisa Liisa Mobley Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 13, 2015, at 11:27 AM, "Karel V.
