Falcon Alert
Apparently there is a peregrine falcon circling around our building right now. I know this because the bird guy that sits in the next cube over from me is positively bursting. He is currently on the phone with some of his fellow birders giving a play-by-play.
Fun facts:
1. Peregrine Falcons winter in the Houston area, they don't stay full time - kind of like up.
2. The falcon outside right now is a "big ol' male"
3. The military has apparently studied how peregrin falcons dive, hoping to incorporate that into the air force somehow I guess.
4. They are "amazing flyers", which I think is a good thing since they are, you know, birds and all.
