The Tacoma peregrines, The Guy and Mickee, are in the spirit of the
breeding season and trying, apparent often, to fulfill their conjugal
duties.

During my three regular work breaks today (two 15-minute breaks and one
30-minute break), the birds copulated once (at noon) on the Key Bank
Building. Yesterday, they did not go at it during my breaks. But on
Wednesday, they copulated twice, once at my noon break and once during my
2:30 afternoon break. Both times they were on the Key Bank Building.

I must suppose that it's likely they don't confine themselves to the
brief times each day that I'm watching them.
