Today (3/28) around noon I stopped by the east facade of the State Capitol to see the Peregrine Falcons. One was sitting in the nesting box on the portico. It took flight to the east at about 12:10 p.m., and I couldn't follow where it went (I was sitting in the car). Then I saw one on a cornice of the northeast dome. When I put glass on it, there were two! One had mounted the other, then flew back to the nesting box after a brief encounter.
