  • Sighted 12/29: Falconry bird hanging around Key Arena in Seattle, seen multiple times. Came down to a few feet away when called. Eating on its own. Possibly a peregrine: described as salmon-colored breast, bluish-back, dark hood-like head markings and mustache. Has a blue band on one leg and telemetry on the other, no jesses. Please contact Brian Kellogg for more info.
