Field Notes Doug Bell Location: U.C. Berkeley campus, Berkeley, CA. (Alameda co.) Weather: clear, sunny, ~~hot. October 19, 1988 Bob Jones said that someone reported seeing a peregrine at the Campanile last night around 17:00.

Thick malar stripe, creamy throat, but thin shaft markings even on upper breast. At first the peregrine looked like a ?, as it was sitting quite "dumpy", and it was hard to
