I saw Ivy this afternoon. 
On my way home today, I thought I saw a falcon trying to hunt a sea gull.  There was some pretty fancy flying happening and some stooping.  All I saw was a falcon and lots of gulls scatter  8)
I envy you both!  It's harder in downtown Wpg, when you don't have a window seat OR co-workers who get it (remember after Black Friday, those who thought we were nuts for sobbing at our desks?). 

I am SO glad you have free access!   :)

Once you know where to look...they are easy to spot.  Well of course if they are around  ::)

Don't worry...I decided to pull into a parking lot to watch all of this unfold  :P

This comes under the heading of - just when you are not looking for them - I saw Ivy this afternoon.  I was out shopping and saw a very familiar looking building (thanks Dennis) with what looked like a stuffed animal on a balcony rail midway up.  I had my binoculars in my backpack and whoa, there was the little rockstar himself looking every bit as handsome as his dad.  He was probably either having a midafternoon siesta or else watching for a pigeon to come by.  There is a plentiful supply in the neighbourhood.  I didn't hang around even though I was in a public parking lot, because it seemed a little like invasion of privacy, for the people there I mean. It is different for the Project people to be documenting them.   I am sure that Ivy and Jules don't care, afterall they were doing the wild thing in one of the most public locations in the city.  :D 
Great name by the way Tracy.  And yes, I had the wrong set of buildings the other week although they fit the criteria, plus falcons had visited in the past and a falcon did fly by when I was in the vicinity. C'est la vie. :D

Just so y'all know, saw a peregrine on the way home perched on top of a building (north east of it actually) just enjoying the sun.

Okay, my psychic skills may have been working in overdrive on this name ... never saw pulp fiction but that is as perfect description of an adult peregrine during banding if ever there was one ...  :o

Jules is a great name. 
You are so right, TPC.  Murder and violence aren't pretty, let alone cute!
