Peregrine Falcons up close and personal
I had a meeting this morning on the 16th floor of the Jackson County tower building. What made it really great is that their IT head also has keys to the 18th floor, the level where our local Peregrine Falcons have their scrape. One of the fledglings was standing on the ledge, just a few feet out from the window.
At this point he was a bit wary of me pointing a camera at him
Opened the window to get a better look. Pretty amazing to have nothing but a couple feet of air between myself and such an amazing bird.
I didn't see momma coming in to protect her baby, she was just suddenly there, seemingly out of thin air. She seemed every bit ready to tear me to shreds - and this is after we closed the window.
