Wonder who this Falcon was? Evanston...Downtown???

I told John that something was about to happen, and sure enough a few seconds later a gray missile swooped in and attacked out of nowhere.

Oh.my. God!  Peregrines can be such fearless birds.  I'm surprised this bird would go after an owl but then again, we have seen them go after an eagle

Probably Nona or Squawker from the Evanston library-they are known to hunt the lake shore. 

Those are some amazing photos!  Wow!

Totally awesome! I think pound for pound Peregrines are the fiercest of the raptors! Of course I kinda like  :heart: them best anyway!  ;D
