16:30 - No Peregrine. Warm day.
February 17, 1989
Margarett (Pest Services) called Bob this morning
to tell him the Peregrine is back on the Campanile.
11:00: I saw the Peregrine sitting on N ledge #2
as I approached Evans Hall. The falcon flew
off the tower heading due west in a "butterfly-"
like slow flight. About 1 min. later it reappeared
from the East(!), landed back on NE ledge 2.
Went up to 10th floor Evans - watched the
falcon. She's actively looking about, Back-to-
over her shoulder, as her back faces out from
the tower. She nevertheless looks relaxed.
It's funny, but the weather since I last saw
the falcon (Feb. 8) has been pretty warm, almost
calm. Today the weather is again warm, but
hazy. Visibility < 2 miles.
February 18, 1989
Light drizzle, intermittent. Maren saw the falcon
sitting in shelf on east side of Campanile around
17:00:
I checked the Campanile at 21:00, no falcon;
cross clouds clearing.
February 19, 1989
15:00 - 15:30. Today started with clearing weather. Quite
sunny by late morning. Slight S wind. Few high clouds.
Went to 10th floor Evans. Watched the Peregrine sitting
