Sabrina Sat and Preened...

... and did little else for the hour I spent outside at noon today. It was windy, gray and cold-- hardly the halcyon mild weather that had been forecast. Perhaps for that reason Sabrina kept to the ledge on the northeast corner of the 19^th floor. Here are a few shots:
          

The adult female we saw yesterday was a no-show, though it's easy to imagine that Sabrina's frequent looks to the east were in expectation of it's arrival. It's more likely that Sabrina was just engaging in the Peregrine's typical wariness.

Despite the inhospitable weather I'd have stayed out longer to see if the other falcon decided to make a visit, but a meeting at 1:00 forced me indoors. With Sabrina and our mystery falcon engaging in what could be construed as courting behavior and the continued absence of Mariah and Kaver I'm keen to see what might develop. Perhaps 2007 will be a year of change for the Kodak falcons. For now I'm reserving judgement and hoping for more opportunities to observe both Sabrina and the newcomer interacting. We'll see what Thursday brings.
