[TN-Bird] Memphis Peregrine Hunt

March 24-25
Downtown Memphis
Shelby Co. TN
Crittenden Co. AR
 
The hunt for a suspected nest still proves unfruitful but I have now  
photographed or seen the smaller male bird perched or hunting from five  
buildings in 
downtown and the Memphis-Arkansas Bridge where I first suspected  nesting. 
The larger, lighter female has not been seen since the two  were found sitting 
together on one of the Memphis-Arkansas bridge pilings,  a couple of weeks ago. 
I still have high hopes of a nest but time just does  not allow for the 
necessary stake outs. Sometimes it takes an hour or more just  to locate the 
bird. 
Hopefully, if there is a nest, all will fall in place with  the feeding of 
young. This weekend the smaller, darker bird was located,  Saturday and Sunday 
lounging on a ledge 20 stories up, surveying his domain.  
Good Birding  !!!
