a Peregrine that has been hunting along the Cornwallis River (looks to =
be a male), so I guess it could have been either.  I have seen up to 2 =
Peregrines regularly this winter at the facility on the corner of Canard =
Rd and Fred Thomas Rd, where all the starlings, crows, and gulls hang =
out.  I assume this is some sort of meat processing plant? =20

of Noggins Farm Market, a clearly saw a flying smallish falcon.  It was =
flying unlike a merlin, much more like a small (male) peregrine falcon.  =
I had no opportunity to stop or to see any colour =97 the bird was just =
a silhouette, but close to the road and to me.  Thus I have to call this =
a peregrine falcon, but it has to remain as =93probable=94.  I hope =
someone else sees and diagnoses this bird.  Noggins Market farm attracts =
a lot of birds, esp. starlings and house sparrows, so it=92s quite =
likely to be revisited by this falcon.  Our recent Eagles/Raptors Count =
had 2 merlins but no other falcons, although in recent years at least =
one peregrine has been detected several times on that count and/or on =
other winter days.
