Has anyone else out there been seeing a Peregrine on the power poles by the
I-5 ship canal bridge right about 7:30 in the morning? I've been
sporadically seeing one on the morning commute since about August - at
least every other week it's there. I can't say for sure it's a Peregrine,
as I'm usually going by at about 60 without bino's, but I swear I see the
cheek stripes.

I know there used to be a peregrine that went by the name Freeway in that
area, but I thought that was his or her winter range, and August seems a
little early for that.

Any thoughts from the more regular urban raptor-watchers?
