I took an afternoon stroll around Western Regional Park this afternoon but didn't expect to see many birds.  As I approached the back section a jogger (who apparently saw my bins) asked me if I was interested seeing the  "hawk."   After replying in the affirmative, he told me it was sitting on a sign right around the corner.   The Peregrine Falcon flew soon after I started watching it but landed on a wood fence after flying about 100 yards.   After watching it for about 5 minutes, I decided to go back to my car and get my camera.   Unfortunately, by the time I returned it had departed and was not relocated.
