1829 hrs - just saw s/he zip south along the Red River over the Richardson Building ... not quick enough to catch the little bullet however ...

... s/he came around and landed on the J again ....

Our JR sign peregrine just polished off dinner on the Paris Building - bigger than a pigeon, think it was a small duck or a larger shorebird ... then s/he flew off to I'm not sure where ...

... photos to be posted in the gallery shortly ....

I saw the falcon on the JR sign earlier today (thanks to bccs).  Will keep my eyes on the east side tomorrow morning!

Dennis just phoned and he was looking at a rather large pale-ish bird near the west nestbox and I was looking at the other bird sitting on the J of the JR sign at the same time.  Dennis admits that he didn't have his binocs so he's not positive, but we could have two birds downtown as of today. 

Now before we get all jazzed up that both Trey & Princess are home, keep in mind that this is a very desired nestsite (remember the Fargo chick that turned up for a vacation last fall) and that other birds have "visited" (Ivy in 2008) at the beginning of other nesting seasons. 

Tonight its suppose to snow but hopefully it will be sunny enough in the am and s/he/they will be on the east side in the sun and out of the wind (wind is forecasted from the northwest).  We may get lucky and we'll get a look at either/both shortly!

Okay, now I'm confused...are they both back or we don't know who the one peregrine spotted is at the Radisson territory.
