Field Notes Doug Bell U.C. Berkeley February 1, 1984 - cont. Oakland AT&T building (Franklin + 15th) for the 1987 season? We drove back to SF to meet the bridge observer at the fire station below the bridge. Talked with him from 15:30 -> on. At 17:00 a Peregrine appeared over the closet tower. Up high, soaring with gulls. It drifted over the Ferry Building, then put in a powered dive at a small bird about 100 feet up over the bay. Missed it, then drifted back over the bridge (100 above the tower!), shallow dive at a gull which had dived on it, then back over downtown Ferry Building, then back to land at the very top of the closet tower. Did not see it fly off again. I left after sunset. Very cold (Alaska air coming in). What a # satisfying day!
