> We (at the TVA Towers) are regularly observing a large peregrine
> falcon roosting on top of the Andrew Johnson Building in downtown
> Knoxville (near the Gay Street Bridge), usually late in the afternoons
> (after 4) and early mornings.  She tends to roost near the antenna
> array on the top of a small roof access structure; she was there this
> morning.  Occasionally we see her roosting on one of the ledges on the
> west side of the building as well.  From this vantage point, she can
> look over the TN River and Market Square.  The pigeons in the area
> keep an eye on the falcon, but seem more interested in the large
> Cooper's Hawk working the First Bank and Hilton Hotel areas.
