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!
