Around 6:30 this evening I noticed what I first thought was a juvenile =
crow flying short distances from treetop to treetop in a neighbor's =
yard. It was raining at the time, and viewing from my bedroom window =
made it difficult to identify the bird without optics. After watching =
it for a couple of seconds I realized that it was one of the larger =
falcons. When it stopped and perched on a treetop, I quickly set up my =
scope. I was delighted to see a juvenile Peregrine Falcon perched there =
in the rain. The bird was cooperative for several minutes, allowing my =
parents to have a look through my scope. I'm guessing that this was one =
of the birds raised from a Peregrine pair in the Minnesota River valley =
not far from my house, although I've never seen one around my yard until =
now.=20
