Eric, I haven't seen these, but this is only a few blocks away from where I live and I can head over there when I'm back in town on Thursday and look. Seems unlikely that it would be two Peregrines. Have you ruled out American Kestrels?

Hello Folks,
I have regularly been seeing one raptor in Thornton hanging out on a street lamp on 126th in between Lafayette and Washington for a year or two. Yesterday went for a closer look with the binoculars and noticed there were two. Their habit it is to fly and perch back and forth between the 2nd or 3rd street lamp to the west of Lafayette, and then fly east/north a couple hundred yards to the white communications tower right on the farmer's canal adjacent to Lafayette.
Not an expert--trying to determine if these are Peregrine of Prairie Falcons.
Anyone seen these?
