Astrid and Ares share a 30 minute long dance or ledge display. The kids have all left town and we assume they have begun exploring other areas in preparation for their migration southward. Good luck Penelope, Archie, Keisha and Rue!!

Ares Drops off Food
Ares drops of food and the fledglings rush in to get it.
We hope you are enjoying all of the fascinating behavior of urban peregrines. This has been an exciting season so far and continues to surprise us frequently.
If you would like to help us keep this project going please consider making a donation (simply go to our donation page). This project is completely volunteer driven but we do have costs each year – such as $1500.00 for streaming the live feeds. Thank you all for your continued support!!!
Archie Brings in a Pigeon
Did Archie catch his own prey? Did he complete a successful food transfer from one of the parents? It is hard to say how he obtained the food but he flew in with it in his clutches. Penelope was right behind him and managed to wrangle it away from Archie. He did get a portion of it once she had her fill.
Fledglings take advantage of the wind
One of the kids uses the wind to make short hover flights from light pole to light pole.
Fledglings play on the wind and Keisha runs at the camera…
