They might land on someone's shoulder (which is pretty scary for an unsuspecting stranger) or land beside them. They usually are found within a few miles of where they were lost.

I suspect she was chased off by one of the Peregrine falcons that migrated onto the island and perched on the refinery stacks near my house. She went about five miles. On about the third or fourth day she flew into someone's house and joined them for breakfast.
