PEREGRINE FALCON - HARMON TOWER10-2-017
The Meadowlands Commission's Angelo Urato reports:

 

"Tuesday afternoon while I was on the roof of the Harmon Tower Building in Secaucus, I had a close up view of this adult Peregrine Falcon."

(Thanks, Angelo — just love the Hackensack River Lift Bridge in the background, a classic Meadowlands shot.)
