I checked in here before coming to work as this cam is blocked at work.  Terzo was with babies and both looked good, healthy and equal in size just about and both heads came up for food..though dad didn't have any.  They had just switched I guess and then he settled down on them.

Baby 3 hatched overnight and is doing well.  Seems like hatching at night or with dad around is the key to survival here.  All should hopefully go well now.

Thank goodness for Terzo, from what I've read - he seems to be around quite alot so perhaps he sees he is needed!

From Pitt Peregrines FB page.. crying

Sad news to share.  The male fledgling struck a window this morning, one of the dangers associated with urban nests.  He did not survive.  

Unfortunately this is an all too common fate.  However, even with nests at natural sites, only ~60% of fledglings survive their first year.


Fly free, little one.  sorrow

Sadly, another one of the peregrine falcon fledglings from this year’s nest at the University of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning has died. Female 08/BR Bl/Gr, 1947-07039, was found dead at the Pittsburgh airport on July 9, apparently struck by an airplane. She was banded on May 16 at about 21 days of age by Dan Brauning, and fledged on June 7 or 8. She had just a month of “freedom” before meeting her untimely end.
As you know, the male, 09/AP Bl/Gr, died of a window strike at the SEI building on the Pitt campus on 6/16. That leaves just one surviving fledgling, female 07/BR. At least we hope that she is still alive. Since she fledged a month ago, she could be just about anywhere, but if she is observed again, please let us know.

OMG!!! It's awful to lose 2 from 1 nest!
