Peregrine Falcons At My Office

At lunch time, I got a call from my company’s Chief Operating Officer.  Two Peregrine Falcons had joined our COO for lunch.  They were both on a 20th Floor window ledge of the Flatiron Building.  I only had my iPhone camera but the pictures came out fine.

There were two birds.  One bird was banded (a standard silver band on the right leg and green bands on the left) and the other bird wasn’t.  Both looked to be juvenile birds.  It seemed strange that two juvenile birds wouldn’t both be banded if they were together, so I’m a little puzzled.
