Well that was bizarre. I live under the flight path of Silver gull's going back and forth to the Lake/Tip so I see them fly over often but today I spotted a white bird flying low and landed in my yard, it was a Silver Gull. Seconds later I spotted a Peregrine Falcon and thought this may be the reason it landed. I checked on the bird and could see feathers out of place on it's wing and it just kept running away from me as I tried to catch it but kept going under the house. I went inside to cook some chips to lure it but when I went to the back of my house it flew up over the fence and away. Perhaps the wing was not badly injured and it just landed to seek refuge from the Falcon?
