This cube slave doesn't even get out for lunch! I haven't been through there in daylight this winter but in years past, I have seen a Peregrine on the light standards on 520 near the 40th/51st exits.

Subject: [Tweeters] Peregrine?


yesterday, on my way to lunch (about 1230) with other cube slaves, i happened to look up as a mob of crows was harassing what looked like a peregrine falcon just west of the corner of 148th and 20th (northup) in bellevue... while i'd like to say with 100% certainty it was a peregrine, the mustache and "brighter" body (from a distance of about 100 metres with no optics beyond these aged, near-sighted peepers) were all i could honestly vouch for...

i know we've got several red-tail hawks in the area, including at least one light-morph, but this is the first time i've seen what i thought was a falcon in that neck of urbania... has anyone else seen one, or is it more likely it was a light-morph RTHA with only the appearance of a falcon mustache?
