[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Greetings,
 
Please forgive me for being so late in this post, but I HAVE been a little  
debilitated lately due to my illness.  I do hope to be home with the  poodles 
AND my backyard birds soon.  
 
While sitting on the "back porch" at the Waterford Assisted Living Facility  
on Sawyer Brown Road in Bellevue on Tuesday afternoon, an adult peregrine  
falcon flew across the yards behind us in a north to south direction.  It  
appeared to be on its way to another destination and did not appear to be  in 
"feeding mode."  Since it is about 12-13 road miles to downtown, it  may be a 
bit 
far for the downtown birds.  It's about 6 road miles to where  I see the Belle 
Meade/Charlotte Park birds, so perhaps one of those ventured out  
here.........or, maybe its a completely different bird.  I believe  peregrines 
may be more 
common around Nashville that many have  thought.  I sure do see them 
frequently enough and in different locations  to support that theory to some 
extent.  
They are always a thrill no matter  when or where they are seen!
