En route from Bradford VT (Rt 5) in early
afternoon today. I pulled into the Fairlee Diner parking lot, which is
closed on Tuesdays. (good day to view)
I do this somewhat regularly in hopes to see any
Peregrines. Seems to me, there have been none nesting the last 2 years
(anyone want to confirm this ?) Apparently they have nested further north
on Rt 5.
I noticed something flash by high up on the Palisades Cliff.
Hmm.
Then I noticed a Peregrine (PeFa) make numerous passes back
and forth on the upper cliff. Then it flew into a ledge, where
another was waiting. There was a small encounter.
Male doing courtship display with a female being
impressed ??
Fun sightng !
