While scouting sites for kestrel box placement on Feb 24th near the Town of Claverack Highway Garage (Columbia County), Rich Nord and I came upon a juvenile peregrine sitting on a fence post. This was on Orchard Road. The bird flew up to a higher perch, then headed off to the NW. Photos revealed no bands.
