John B's Chrysler Falcon story got me thinking you may find the story of Melbourne's Falcons interesting. We have the live feed up on our TV in our office at the Melbourne Hospital I volunteer.

I've seen several articles about these beautify birds and their nesting in downtown Melbourne. Truly magnificent creatures. Thanks Geoff.

@bob-jackman Nice to see them nesting in urban areas; as you know they tend to nest in more peaceful rural environments.  This rare shot was taken in the 1960s.

@jack-dodds I remember seeing this. As I understand it, this Falcon never left the nest.

@bob-jackman This is an Australian locale...hence the RHD and wider license plate.  Must have been one heck of a flood.......
