As I was hiking this afternoon on the Potomac Heritage Trail near the American
Legion Bridge in Fairfax County, I heard a Great Blue Heron squawking as it
flew down the Potomac River. I then noticed that is was being chased by an
adult Peregrine Falcon. The heron got away and I watched the falcon fly back
and perch on a bridge abutment to be greeted by two juvenile Peregrine Falcons.
