Peregrine Falcon returns to the Mission…

October 27, 2008

I had walked past this church on the way home and forgot to check the steeple. It was not until I was on my steps, that I remembered to look and spotted a familiar shape. The church is at 22nd and Capp Street in the Mission District. And this is the second time I had seen a falcon here this fall season.

So walking back, I was able to get some good closeups, no legs were exposed, so I don’t know if this bird has been banded.  I’ll be keeping watch on the location in the hopes of more viewings…
