The are no documented Peregrine Falcon breeding sites in the Lakes Region as of 2004. If that's really the type of falcon you're seeing that is awesome and I am envious (and would love to see a picture).

I remember a few years ago seeing a Peregrin nest on top of a real tall light tower on I-93 in Maine.At least I was told that was what was nesting there.Now that I think about it,maybe it was an Osprey.

We saw an American Kestrel in Gilmanton last summer. (picture is representation, not actual sighting)
Pretty cool.

They are definitely in the area.

Mrs. DRH, now known as Quilt Lady, identified my bird as a Peregrine Falcon. It was eating a Blue Jay.
