Title: Houston TX Peregrines Post by: DebInTexas on 06-Apr-10, 11:42:15 PM I guess I could call this a small introduction of myself and my long-time interest in Peregrines. It started with my spotting the wintering birds back around 2000. This year's pair is still here, as of today! Many of us Houston birders believe some are nesting here, but I haven't seen it yet. Enjoy the article that appeared in our local paper in Nov. 2007.

DebInTexas Very nice and congrats..keep us posted. Title: Re: Houston TX Peregrines Post by: DebInTexas on 03-May-10, 10:59:06 AM It is May 3, and they are still here! I watch them perch daily on the building across the street from my office. (How do I get any work done!?) During winter, they would frequently perch together (Ms. Perrie and Silverback). For the last few weeks, it has been individually, but spotting both at some point during the day. Also see the occasionally 'feathers flying' when they are eating.
If by chance this pair is nesting here, how far away might the nest be from this daily perch spot? Debbie in Texas |
