On our way to view the protest going on at the capitol building and then to the speech thereafter, Dave spotted a sight that I was waiting to see. A peregrine falcon had perched itself upon the top of the building itself and was scoping out the terratory around it. From where I was the bird still looked magnificient. All I could see was its back but I could easily see its shape and deep gray feathers against the contour of the white walls of the building. I wanted to see it in action so badly but alas, it merely sat there, almost pondering the reason as to why so many had gathered. Maybe even annoyed that so many would scare off the food. Or perhaps delighted that more people would entice more food to arrive.
