Cuyahoga River valley between Independence, Valley View and Garfield hts.
Last night I watched as peregrine falcons and kestrels floated on the west
winds coming off the valley floor and rising along the bluffs on the east
side of the I-480 bridge. If you go to City View shopping complex off
Transportation Blvd and I-480 in Garfleld Hts. go behind the Applebees
restaruant and sit next to the guard rail on the edge of the bluff. The
peregrines were just floating in one spot facing into the west winds with
their heads perfectly still looking down towards the valley floor. Every so
often they would pull in their wings and dive down into the valley.
