I was thrilled to find one of the Peregrines looking up at me from about 40 feet away - perched on a snag on the north rim of Taughannock gorge just below the visitor’s center (8:30 am). It sat preening and looking around, aware of my presence but not seeming to be distracted by it. It called occasionally, quite loud above the falling water of the falls. After about a half hour several Turkey Vultures flew up the gorge and shortly after that the Peregrine departed downstream.
