Heard a commotion out over the lake and saw 2 Peregrine Falcons chasing a seagull (unsuccessful) before they flew to the old Hearn Generating station 1 flew over me and I believe the leg band was 6Y

In hot pursuit


closing in on their prey




Almost got him


fly over

Peregrines are awesome and spazzy birds.  

What part of the lake did you see them at?  I have a friend who can probably pull the names of the killer couple.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
