Yesterday evening a brief stop in traffic on the Causeway overpass over I 10 gave me just enough time to grab binoculars from my glove box, and train them on the small silhouette perched high on the Jefferson water tower. Sure enough, it was a Peregrine, using this familiar haunt for the species during our "winter" months. Good to see it in use again!

Sounds awesome would love to see a Peregrine Falcon! I wanted to ask your opinion, I will be in New Orleans next weekend but will only have about 4 hours early Saturday morning for birding (wish I had a whole day), and I was wondering where you felt I should go in order to (hopefully) maximize my morning, in terms of birding? I live in Texas and have never gone out of the state to bird, so I'm pretty excited for this little opportunity!
