Peregrine Falcons

23 July 2020

A pair of peregrine falcons have a nest high up on Riverside Church; the church very kindly installed some 2x4s for them to perch on.

The other day, I saw several falcons—at least two, more likely three or four—circling around the Interchurch Center across the street. Speculation I've heard is that this was the parents teaching the fledglings how to fly well.
