Field Notes Doug Bell U.C. Berkeley February 16, 1989 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
