Yesterday late afternoon while walking into the house I almost fell off my deck in excitement after seeing a Peregrine Falcon fly right over the house! It circled a nearby cell phone tower and then landed. I luckily had both my binoculars and scope just inside the house and quickly got a positive ID with the bins and then enjoyed long looks with the scope. I live in the Germantown neighborhood near the intersection of Preston and Eastern Parkway, the cell phone tower is across the street from Sunergos Coffee shop. I believe a saw a Peregrine Falcon one other time fly by last year, but the looks were poor, short, and without binoculars. -- Jamie Baker
