Now having exhausted my rhetoric, I've thought more about peregrines,
specifically their size. They are small birds. Hence I believe it is the
large hawks I've seen in the skies above Georgetown and the peregrines are
found in the few still wooded areas and numerous bridges in this industrial
corridor. So if I think about travel routes and size, peregrines would be
more apt perhaps to use trees, bridges, and perhaps the cover of buildings
to travel across the industrial corridor to the greenbelts that line both
sides of the Duwamish river valley. Would this be the route of the small
bird? Or do they too take to the skies in the manner of the hawks in this
area?

Again I urge you to support the Georgetown, Riverside, and Tukwila
communities, the hawks, herons, falcons, and wild urban creatures of the
Duwamish corridor. 800 feet is the length of 2 2/3 football fields. This is
displacement of people, of habitat. Think about it. Thanks.
