Jersey City Falcon Ivy, The Shady Lady
The Shady Lady of Jersey City (band 79/AN) must have put on sunscreen. She was apparently in the shade at 10 Exchange Place when she suddenly appeared. She then beat it around the building, went next to the Hudson River, and back to 101 Hudson. She sat in the sun for a good two hours…

Fledgling Fantasy
Most of these pictures are archival. That means they just show that the almost fledglings are doing OK so far. Most of my time has been spent in Jersey City, but I was able to make a stop at Tompkins Square Park for the red-tails and Riverside Church.

San Jose Peregrines
I have the good fortune of being able to watch peregrine fledglings in a few cities. Comet and Striker are almost putting on a show for me. Most of the time they are waiting for a food delivery from Clara or Fernando Cohete. Their current favorite perch seems to be the old BofA building in…
