Rick,
on Feb. 17, while counting for the GBBC, I saw a
peregrine swooping up and down the street. Shocked as
I didn't expect it in my neighborhood.
I do not think it is too early as some have already
arrived at the nesting areas north of us.

Hi Helen,
I was just searching some references and found this tidbit, in Pete Dunne's
Essential Field Guide Companion, under Peregrine Falcon, Behavior--- "During
migration, young birds are playful, engaging in aerial dogfights with other
species of raptor. Adults are more reserved and are usually aggressive only
toward Golden Eagle."
