During the noon hour today, the two Tacoma peregrines--Sash and the
resident male--both disappeared into the top of the 11th Street Bridge's
eastern counterweight. This is the first time I've seen them in it
together. (But, of course, the weather has been so crummy that I haven't
spent a whole lot of time in the gales outside.) This may signal that
they are considering it as a nesting place.

After they hopped out and back into sight, Sash perched on the Wells
Fargo Building, while he flew circles around her and the building.

Then she shot off toward the old Schoenfeld's Furniture Building (now
nearly renovated) and roused an immature female peregrine who had been
lurking over there somewhere. Together, Sash and he chased the young
female around the bridge, Sash grappling fiercely with her and almost
falling to the street. He dived on the young intruder. At last Sash and
he together chased the youngster off to the east across the tideflats.

Just yesterday, at noon Wednesday, Sash and he had also chased off an
intruding female peregrine.
