heavy flight, it circled in front of the campanile, then finally circled back and landed on the east-face ledge below the pyramid. I could not see it from Evans west balcony, but did see it from the east balcony.
left at 15:10. Next observation was as I headed home around 17:15 - he was still sitting on the same east ledge. We drove to the lot at Stanley Hall at 18:45, after sunset, he was still sitting there. Passed along memorial stadium road at 19:10 - tiered visible just outside of pyramid lighting, still on the east ledge. 20:40 - Tierel Peregrine still on east ledge, some fog moving in.
October 20, 1988
The tiercel was photographed by John Trocket around 9:30; by Chris Schneider around 11:00.
Joe T. Marshall observed the bird flying around the campanile at mid-day. I did not get the chance to go to the campanile until 16:00. No bird in sight. At 17:45 - 18:10, I went up to the 10 floor balcony of Evans (west side) to observe the campanile, no sign of the peregrine. at 21:30 went to campanile. Fog very thick, hard to see the ledges, it did not look like the peregrine was roosting up there.
