There could have been a Peregrine on the Md. side of the Potomac in Oxon Hill today, just north of the Wilson Bridge in the spaghetti bowl of interchanges that connect Rte 210-295-and 95. It was approximately at Oxon Hill Road and Rt 210.

I've been keeping an eye on the RR Bridge over the Potomac this week, as it was on Feb. 23rd last year that I saw one there. With this mild weather, I figured that one would show up soon. Unfortunately it looks like the RR folks removed the old Osprey nest, so we'll have to see if the Osprey pair does a complete rebuild this year. The pair of Peregrines that were hanging out on the RR bridge so much last year have been very scarce over this past fall & winter. They're still around, as I will occasionally see them (there was 1 on the bridge this evening, in fact), but my guess is that they've found a better place to roost.
