From your field work/experience with the Peregrine Falcons over the last couple of years:

With all the sightings of some type of bird soaring and flying by the West End for the last couple of weeks - on the Wide Angle Cam view.

If those birds are peregrines trying to set up a territory closer to the actual WE Nest, what type of interaction would you expect between them and K01 and K91?

Would the WE Pair tolerate them so close - are they competitors for the hunting / nesting territory?

There is a peregrine territory within view of the West End nest. The peregrines might harass the bald eagles, but peregrines are too fast for the eagles to bother. They eat different things and nest on different substrates, so they should get along as they have for at least the last two seasons.
