Was downtown later yesterday afternoon and somebirdy was sitting on the S of the Scotia building.  It looked rather large so probably our resident female.  Was in the same spot when I passed by at 8 last night too.
Nice to hear from you, BirdLover and great to hear that you saw one of the peregrines! :D Were you using your new spotting scope? :-\

Both of our birdies are still here. This morning Hurricane was perched on the ledge at bottom of clock tower and Brooklyn was swooping the pigeons.   :) :)

Yes, at least one of them is still around.  For the past week I have only seen one, but both may still be here........ saw one this morning perched on the south light. :)
Oh, that is good to hear, rcf! :D

What a great way to start your day - with two sitings.

That's a great perch!

Thanks for the updates.

Saw Hurricane about 6:45 this morning, perched on the north light and after I drove across the 8th Street bridge and got to parking lot at work, I could see Brooklyn perched on the west light.  I didn't see them after work....... probably somewhere in the shade trying to stay  8)

Wonder how the peregrines will take to having that much activity around - there doesn't seem to be a lot at the moment.

I don't think there is much outside activity involved, mostly consists of outside renovations.  The birds have been there since the early 1990s when the building was much busier than it was prior to the sale so not sure that they will be too concerned.  The Radisson has undergone major renovations on the floor right below the roof (pretty much completely stripped out and reconstructed) and the birds didn't even flinch ...
