1. Code 1957 Faleo peregrines 30 June-Urriot ♀ falcon once flew in very close along the face of the cliff and struck this vower as it was sitting, knocking it a couple of feet. The vower "froge" in some brush after this attack. Also while we were there, a strong Peregrine - I think - came over while the residents were engaged with the vowers.
