It’s been several weeks since I’ve seen a neighborhood Peregrine Falcon.
The one I’d been watching from my kitchen window doesn’t seem to like hanging out there anymore unfortunately.

For fun I took a screen shot of the Falcon’s building in relation to Washington Square Park and Tompkins Square Park:
I tore myself away from the Falcon so I could visit Washington Square Park.
Bobby appeared on the Judson Memorial Church cross about 15 minutes after I had arrived at the park.
He left the cross after 15 minutes:

He returned to the cross 4 minutes later:
He left for good after 15 minutes:
I saw him dip down low outside the northern border of the park but I couldn’t find him.
