Peregrines nesting on the Washington Mutual tower
The nest is on the NE-facing side of the tower, in a nest box
provided by FRG. The camera is mounted about 30' from the nest,
facing roughly SE.

Though the FRG don't mark it on the photo the ledge is the one just
above the topmost windows to the right of the center line of the NE
face of the building.
I believe the scrape is to the right of both the "Union Jack"
stonework and the adjacent right-hand "buttress".
It is in a corner formed by the ledge, the front of the building and
right side the "buttress".
I sent Diane a marked up photo with a circle marking the spot. Easier
than words.
Please let me know if this is incorrect.
