[EBB Sightings] Peal's Peregrine at Coyote Hills

Re: Peal's Peregrine, (pg. 24 2nd Ed. of Nat'l Geo.)

thanks  Rusty  for calling my attention to this characteristic; usually I'm
trying to distinguish if I'm HEARING Peregrines or Prairies - I think I'm
hearing Peregrines, but it's been a while since I've heard Prairies...
Anyway,  which  ever they are, they have been fly around  above Concord and
Pleasant Hill during the day (close to Concord Naval weapons station , DVC,
Markham Nature Park i.e. open space areas in the 'Valley"  still close to
the mountain)- but  just can't SEE them!
