I live downtown off N. 4th St.  There is a vacant area behind my home just north of I-670.  A Peregrine flew in and perched on the an electric pole right outside my window.  I wanted to run to my car to grab my camera but feared that as soon as I would return the bird would be gone.  I watched him for a few minutes fly from pole to pole scouting birds foraging on the ground.  He then flew off toward the skyline.  It was an awesome sight.
