Peregrine Falcons

["Pomera M. Fronce" <pinkstring at xmission dot com>]

Tonight was a great night for the young falcon!  She had some beautiful 
long flights.  She took some big wide turns and is learning how to gain 
altitude.  One observer reported that she climbed nearly to the top of 
the Church Office Building which I think is some 26 stories high.  Her 
flights no longer consist of continuous flapping - she is starting to 
glide.  She also flew near some glass front buildings and was able to 
keep out of trouble.

This is really a big improvement.  Remember that up until today, the 
young bird has only taken short flappy flights, a couple of which 
brought her down.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that she picks up 
tomorrow where she left off today.
