For the last number of weeks I've been hearing lots shrieking calls from =
the trees along the cliffs above Horton Bluff. It's an annual =
experience. The calls are coming from a family of peregrines.  Here is a =
sample linked to the Cornell Lab collection of bird sounds.  These are =
similar but some of the shrieks I hear especially from a young one are =
even shrieker/shriller.
