Hi Tweets,
Downtown on an errand, dropped over to Canada Place in the late afternoon to
see if Granville Clint had made it back for another winter. Yep, in his
usual roost spot, tucked in the corner of the extreme right-hand louvred
panel on the 10th floor, N side. Best seen from the promenade Deck on the E
side of Canada Place, late afternoon or early evening. Not usually there
when the rain's from the NE.
He's the male Peale's Peregrine Falcon which has wintered for the last
decade or so on the Granville 200 Building at the N end of Granville Street
in downtown Vancouver BC, and Vancouver's only fershure urban Peregrine, and
should be there until Week 1 or 2 April. If you visit the market at
Granville Island during the day, take some time to look for him lurking on
one of the supports below the Granville Street Bridge where he'll dash out
and pound on a pigeon ("it's not against any religion--").
