The PEREGRINE I saw was an adult - white breast, barred (not
streaked) flanks & belly. It had a fairly dark side of the face - not
much white separation between the sideburns and rest of the helmet.
I didn't see the back, as it was facing me, and I didn't think about gender.
If there was a juvenile there earlier, then we have 2 Peregrines.
(BTW I was unaware of Paul's find, and would not have posted
the first time had I known he already had. For that matter I would
not have posted again, except for the possibility of there being
multiple Peregrines, which is pretty cool.)
I couldn't see much else from Stewart Park because of heavy
snowfall and extensive ice, but from NYS-34 near East Shore
Park I saw one male RED-BREASTED MERGANSER along with
several COMMON MERGANSERS, COMMON GOLDENEYES,
CANADA GEESE and one male REDHEAD, plus the 3 USUAL
GULLS.
Just in case of Black Vulture(s) still being in the area, I also
wandered up Burdick Hill, Cherry, & Snyder Roads, then down
NYS-13. I found a dark ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK outside the
airport along Snyder Rd, and a TURKEY VULTURE over NYS-13
near Cayuga Heights Rd, but nothing else unusual.
Back home now, I have 2 SONG SPARROWS in my yard.

At about 8:45 this morning in the tree opposite the boat house was a
single Peregrine Falcon, that I think is a juvenile male.
