Subject: Peregrine Falcon in downtown Memphis
For the past several days a migrating Peregrine Falcon has taken up residence
on a transmission tower belonging to local Memphis TV station WHBQ, Fox-13,
located on the roof of a major bank building in downtown Memphis. The bird has
received a lot of TV exposure and has been seen daily on the local news
reports. The bird pays little attention to the camera and as a result quite a
few excellent closeup shots of the bird have been aired on various news
segments throughout the day. Several cold fronts are expected to pass through
Memphis in the next few days so chances are the bird will continue south pretty
soon.
