National Aviary, Cathedral of Learning - Pitt Peregrines

[DebInTexas]

From the website:  Hope laid her first egg of the year, on March 15 at approximately 6:35 am!

She had been seen on camera several times in January 2017; on January 13 she was there chee-upping loudly; Terzo could be heard calling loudly back to her from off camera.  Both birds have been seen on camera, although not for long stretches of time, as recently as February 22,2017.  As always, stay tuned!

Good luck to them!

Just read on FB! 

At 12:24PM (03/16/17), an unbanded female made a visit to the Pitt nestbox and bowed with Terzo

http://youtu.be/1jNyEarM14Q Ever since the female peregrine at Pitt laid her first egg on March 15 lots of people have been watching her on camera. The first question on everyone’s mind that day was, “Why is she shouting?!?�
She’s always been a vocal bird but this is over the top.  People can hear her inside the Cathedral of Learning and as far away as O’Hara Street behind Soldiers and Sailors Hall.  Peter Bell @PittPeregrines said, “She’s so loud you can hear her over all the traffic!â€�
So why is she shouting?

I don’t know but I can tell you what was happening off camera.

Before Hope began shouting, she and her mate Terzo were communicating softly over the egg and bowing in courtship.  (Note!  This behavior is a happy thing. It is not fighting.)

Indeed, Hope spent a lot of time shouting at the top of her lungs on Wednesday.  Here’s just a tiny dose of her voice.  Kate St. John


Sounds like what Quest does according to Ann B, they scream for no reason, (that we know of)!

This are only calls to her male. She is no aggressively.
