Celebrity downtowners Kate and Spencer are parents again, maintaining their high style from their 53rd-story digs while Atlantans wonder from below how they live so well.
The secret? Fresh air, exercise and plenty of raw bird.
Kate and Spencer, two rare peregrine falcons named after film stars Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy for their long-running romance, have three new additions at their terrace dwelling high atop Sun Trust Plaza. Outside the 53rd-floor offices of McKenna Long & Aldridge, a large planter box containing several small bushes provides an ideal nesting site to raise their three young hatchlings. It is the fourth brood produced by the couple, which mate for life.
Peregrines historically nested on remote cliff sites throughout the Appalachians, but now, the birds increasingly find skyscrapers, bridges or other large structures suitable habitat to hunt for food and raise young.
“Fledglings learning to hunt are like kittens,” said Georgia Department of Natural Resources biologist Jim Ozier. “They instinctively chase and attempt to capture whatever flies by, often starting with insects. From this, they quickly become adept at pursuing and killing pretty much any bird smaller than themselves.”
Because of eggshell thinning from pesticides and PCB poisoning, eastern populations of the peregrine were eliminated from the wild in the 1940s. The last known wild nest in Georgia was in Cloudland Canyon in the northwest corner of the state. Regulations on pesticides and protection of the birds have helped produce a slow comeback since they began being reintroduced nearly 40 years ago.
Since 1972, several hundred peregrines have been released across the eastern United States, including northeastern Georgia and even from the Georgia Power building.
There are as many as 450 pairs of peregrines currently in the eastern U.S., according to Ozier. Currently, there are only two known peregrine nests in Georgia, Kate and Spencer and another pair atop the Four Seasons in Midtown.
The birds can be seen flying around Peachtree Street, gathering food -- pigeons and unlucky songbirds -- for their young, which are now just leaving the nest. The public can also peek in for a live view.
A webcam, courtesy of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division, The Garden Club of Georgia and McKenna, Long, & Aldridge LLP, gives a birds-eye view of the peregrines. Log on to http://www.georgiawildlife.com/node/615.

Atlanta Falcons on Ustream
ATLANTA, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- Atlanta’s fast-flying falcons are on the nest, and the world is watching again – but this time via video streamed at up to HD quality!
A new web camera operated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources offers a fascinating look into a peregrine falcons nest more than 50 stories high in downtown Atlanta.
The peregrines began nesting in early March and already have three eggs. The new camera is streaming the nest 24/7 on Ustream, at www.ustream.tv/georgiawildlife (http://www.ustream.tv/georgiawildlife) and www.georgiawildlife.com/FalconCam (http://www.georgiawildlife.com/FalconCam).
Jim Ozier, program manager with DNR’s Nongame Conservation Section, said the web cam is “a wonderful opportunity for Georgians and wildlife enthusiasts around the world to witness in detail the life history of this once very rare and elusive species. It’s great to be able to share and build upon this success story.”
Peregrines have been nesting in balcony planters at SunTrust Plaza since 1997. An older camera provided lower-quality images of the nest until a few years ago.
The new camera and other upgrades were provided through a grant from The Environmental Resources Network (TERN), the friends group of DNR’s Nongame Conservation Section, and key support from the international law firm McKenna Long & Aldridge, whose offices overlook the falcons nest, and the Garden Club of Georgia Inc. All three were also partners in the original camera project.
McKenna Long & Aldridge Chairman Jeff Haidet said observing the nesting and offspring of the peregrines each spring “is a reminder of just how extraordinary it is to have these two incredible birds of prey living in our midst in downtown Atlanta.”
“And with this year’s new, higher quality streaming webcam,” Haidet added, “everybody can have almost as good a view of this fascinating process as I do.”
Peregrines are possibly the fastest animals in the world. Their stoops, or dives, used to catch birds in flight have been clocked at more than 200 mph!
But wildlife lovers can keep close tabs on this falcon family and comment via social media features on Ustream, one of the world’s largest live-streaming platforms.
Peregrines were removed from the federal list of threatened and endangered species because of a successful population recovery effort. Yet the birds are still state-listed as rare in Georgia.
What’s not so rare now is seeing up-close what nest life is like for one pair of Atlanta falcons!
Help conserve peregrines and other nongame wildlife, native plants and natural habitats through buying or renewing a wildlife license plate, or contributing to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund income tax checkoff. Both programs support DNR’s Nongame Conservation Section, which receives no state funds for its mission to conserve native wildlife not hunted, fished for, trapped or collected.

One hatched this AM, 3 eggs remain with a pip, chat is saying. It was wicked here in Atlanta (we're in a hotel right across from the building with the nest) last night with winds, driving rain, thunder boomers galore. I was watching her on cam and she hunkered down pretty good on those eggs.

The two chicks fledged either last night or this morning. Neither has been in view since. Dad was on the railing for a while, and sunbathing in the planter, but no sign of the fledglings so far.
Yesterday one of the chicks made it up onto the slippery metal railing, and then disappeared; he/she reappeared in the planter a couple of hours later.
I hope both the fledglings are safe.
The chicks two days ago:

I have been checking the cam each day, and have seen only one of the adults on the railing once or twice.
But today, some good news posted on the site 25 minutes ago: "One of the young just spotted flying outside MLA offices!"
I hope the other one is safe too.
