Some friends took me for a walk to a nearby quarry today to see a falcon that was supposed to be there.....I don't know what they look like, but got these faraway pics...

Looks like one. Lots of cities are enjoying them too as they nest on some of the ledges of high rises.
+1 The helmet look is a give away for a Peregrine. It's nice to see them coming back.
Nice! I've only seen one - in Cairo, Egypt, 94 or 95. It
was sitting on the railing of the hotel room balcony &
just stared at me thru the glass. I didn't have time to
grab my camera before it took off, dangit...I couldn't
believe how FAST it flew...
