Tweets,

I'm driving the Metro Falcon Express once again (actually the route 307
and 41 from Northgate) across the Ship Canal Bridge Express Lanes in the
morning. Last week I saw what I thought was a Peregrine Falcon (hard to
be sure even when I slow down to 45 mph with a 60 foot long tunnel bus --
I do have to watch the road) then last Friday I saw what was clearly a
Red-tailed Hawk. Now today, Wednesday, I saw what was clearly a
Peregrine. Even at 45 mph the face pattern was clear.

Is it possible these two species are sharing the towers to the right of
the Ship Canal Bridge?

Any other Tweeters out there who might be coming in by bus, catch the
8:38am Route 307 at Northgate Transit Center and identify yourself.
Always like to have company on the Falcon Express.
