a video from last year-- chicago

I just came across this-- a resident took a video of a peregrine juvie on the balcony.  It is banded and very screechy!!!

Yup...EPL cam...four eggs, last one laid 03/30 so hatching should start soon!

Jeanne, that's the same 3rd floor scrape I've been watching for a few years.
These albums (and others I posted) are all of that nest; the female is Nonna and the tiercel is Squawker.

it's already too dark here to see into the scrape; we were expecting a hatch all day...

Wait - we have something like 17 peregrine nests in the area, and I suddenly remembered that a few weeks ago when I was at the Field Museum, Mary Hennen showed slides of some of the others - one downtown nest was actually IN a flowerpot, as opposed to ours, which is in a sunken column cap - the birds ledge down into a planter area.

What ever happened to the pair that was nesting on a fire escape?

Zoom and g/g. Still there, still going strong.
Those are the Uptown Theater falcons; I live pretty close to that one too.

Glad to hear they're still there!
