George and Gracie Up-Close

On March 7th, the first egg was laid by Gracie in a planter on the 30th floor balcony of 201 Mission Street in downtown San Francisco. Gracie and George, two Anatum Peregrine Falcons have been nesting in San Francisco since 2003. I have been following and documenting them with my camera since 2005.
