A couple of days ago, I saw a peregrine falcon perching on the same snag on
the Maryland side of the river as the peregrines perched on last year.
There were two adult peregrines at and around the bridge from about this
time last year until about March, when they started to work on the bridge
and scared them away.  I have only seen one bird, and only one time, but
maybe the pair are back and we will actually get a nesting on the upper
Potomac for the first time in about 70years.  If anyone sees the birds  or
knows anything about  them,  please post to the Osprey.
