I work in a high-rise in downtown Houston, an area in which I’d hardly expect to see much wildlife.

Earlier this week I head to the printer to pickup my printout, and out of the corner of my eye I see a bird sitting on the window sill. At first I just assume it’s a pigeon, but upon closer inspection I see that it’s a raptor!

I snapped a few pictures with my camera phone and emailed them to a few co-workers, one of which identified the bird as a Peregrine Falcon.  How neat!
