On April 3, 1994, we came home to our house on 25th NE (around 60th) to find a peregrine falcon dismembering a rock dove on a streetlight above our driveway (it was the feathers floating down that caught our attention). It was my first ever sighting of a peregrine falcon, and a decidedly great addition to our yard list. I'm wondering now, could this have been Freeway? What's her coloring? I seem to remember grey, but don't have a very strong memory of identifying marks.

UW campus falls well within
Freeway's normal winter territory. Over the years we (FRG) have found it
extends from UW campus (including Husky Stadium) and the highest building in
the area, the SAFECO tower, all the way west along the Ship Canal to the
power towers west of the Aurora Bridge (by Falcon Research Group members
referred to as the R(ed) H(ook) B(rewery) towers. Last winter we once found
Freeway at the Grain Terminal just north of downtown along the waterfront;
in the past she's also been seen at Green Lake, to the NW. Probably these
last two sites are well outside her winter territory, although probably
within her winter home range.
