Thanksgiving Falcon
November 20th, 2007When you walk in the back door of the Pulitzer building (which is the way we enter and exit when the galleries are closed), you come up a stairway along side the watercourt. Sometimes this can offer a variety of surprises first thing in the morning — we’ve had swirling steam in the winter, and massive grasshoppers on the window in the summer. However, this morning we encountered the biggest surprise yet — a falcon sitting at the end of the watercourt taking a bath. I took a bunch of photos for the blog (of course) and saved them in a folder called “PFA wildlife” where I also put photos of our local cat, Untitled.
Here you can see where he was sitting in the relation to the rest of the watercourt…
And here he is up-close:
We called him our Thanksgiving Falcon. Not really sure what that means, but it seemed appropriate right before we closed up for the holidays. We’ll be taking a mini-hiatus on the blog too. Our galleries will still be open, however, on Wednesday and Saturday — so come by and see if he’s still hanging around. Now we just need to come up with a name for him….
