A couple of people have written about the peregrine on the 480 cingular
sign. Ever since then I have been watching for this bird with hopes of
seeing it. I get really frustrated when they write to say they saw it and I
was there at the same time and didn't see it. I was beginning to think
this was a practical joke they were playing on me or I needed my eyes
checked. But this morning I finally saw the bird on the sign.
Unfortunately I can not verify that this was the peregrine..there are 4
lanes of rush hour traffic going at least 65 miles per hours and I am in the
far lane. Kind of hard to use the binos in those conditions - when you're
driving! Ha ha. I can say that it was a raptor. I thought I saw a belly
band, but I don't think this bird was big enough for a red tail. I will
look at pictures on the internet later to see if I can verify that I really
saw the peregrine. But at this point I can only say it was a raptor and
probably the peregrine everyone else has been seeing. I hope it was the
peregrine, but even if it wasn't, I'm just glad I finally saw a bird on the
sign. I guess I'm not blind after all! Ha ha
Happy Turkey Day to all!
