Eh....yea there will be fewer perching spots, but if the water tower is the
design featured on the link below, there looks to be a nice outer ledge on
the large cylindrical tank. Maybe/Probably/Hopefully similar to a building
ledge. We will have to wait and see once it goes up. If that out ledge is
even half as good of a perch spot compared to the current water tower the
Peregrine Falcons should utilize it. I’m pretty sure the Market Street
parking lot is a very attractive buffet for the falcons. I also suspect the
falcons have been hunting the market street parking lot at night from the
water tower. That parking lot is very well lit!

Hopefully the Peregrines will be seen on the new tower, too.
