Around 5.35 PM, I was waiting at Statler bus stop chatting to Panamanian co-bus rider. When I looked up I saw a raptor heading over Statler. Initially, I thought a Coopers, but as it came closer it was an adult male PEREGRINE FALCON. It was making a strange screechy squeaky sound as it flew overhead. I pointed out the bird to my co-rider. Now I am wondering if I heard the sound coming from the Peregrine or from something it had caught. I did not see any thing in its talon.
It looks like Statler bus stop is turning to be a profitable spot to be on the campus. Bruce are you looking out of your office window?
