Hi Tony,

I have been looking at peregrines for a long time and I have never seen a
wild adult pick up a stick as you describe.

Called several of my very experienced peregrine colleagues and they haven't
either.

I could see young fledglings doing something like that as they play and get
to know the world around them.

But for an adult, this is really unusual. And I have absolutely no idea why
it would do that.

Thanks for the unique observation.

I would guess that you are one of a very few people on earth that have ever
witnessed this behavior.
