The immature female Peregrine that I reported a couple of times in January
just went lazily by my office window again (I'm in the Music Row Roundabout
just outside downtown Nashville). She was again headed roughly west from
here. I am going to bring my camera tomorrow; if she keeps coming by this
close
I should be able to get some good pics.
It's conceivable to me that this is the same bird being reported from
Vanderbilt, since Vanderbilt is only a few miles west of here, although that
bird
was reported initially as an adult and this one is clearly an immature (but, I
have the benefit of relatively close eye-level binocular views).

Chris,
The peregrine that I had on my window sill at St. Thomas in January of 2007
was an adult..............less than 10 feet away from me. That's within
range, or so I understand, of yours and the one at Vandy. Maybe we have a
family
(or families) somewhere??? I sort of had the feeling that mine might have a
nest on St. Thomas' roof or something. I still get both adult and immature
birds at my house in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville now and
then. Since lots of rock pigeons use my feeder, I get a fair share of
peregrines and have for quite a few years. I try to report them every time I
see one,
but I may have forgotten to mention one that came by to check the deck just
before Christmas. It was a busy time. They like to perch on a neighbor's
tree at the side of my house then "sneak in and snatch" a pigeon from the deck
and be gone before I even know they are around, much less in time for me to
grab my camera off the dining table and "shoot 'em."
