That's funny.

I was walking to work this morning and saw a peregrine-sized bird land  
and perch at edge of one of the angled "point" at the top of the  
Maritime Centre (Barrington and Spring Garden) as I was walking along  
Argyle. It was too far away to see well without binoculars, but that  
my first gut reaction to seeing it in flight and the way it perched.
