The Manchester peregrines have two eggs so far, laid on March 29 and March 31. A third egg is due any time now.

I know that social birds like parakeets like to have a mirror "friend" in their cage for company, but PeFas are not social.

The Manchester pair raised four chicks this year. As far as I know, they all fledged successfully.

I found two of the juvies back at the nest for a visit. They had a minor skirmish in the nest box, and then took turns going up on the perch.

One of the 2013 juvies from the Manchester nest, banded 51/BD,  has been sighted and photographed in the New York area.



Beautiful photo of 51/BD by Steve Sachs.

His report :

This peregrine falcon showed up at the hook mountain hawkwatch on Friday
She is banded-51/BD
I first encountered this bird when she was in juvenile plumage in December 2013 at orchard beach in the Bronx
I then found out she was banded as a 3 week old chick in Manchester, New Hampshire and there were photos of the banding in may of '13 on the Manchester Audubon Facebook page
Fast forward to the fall of 2014 and she showed up at the stateline lookout in full adult plumage but was quickly run out of there by the residents
So now I've found her again
She must be spending the spring and summer somewhere nearby
Need to figure that out to complete the story
