5280 Peregrine Watch #6

Fresh video recorded in the early morning on June 23rd, along with some great stills by Jeff Wang shot earlier in the week, show the parents still hard at work bringing food back to the eyrie. One of the young falcons took a first flight, or perhaps slipped or was blown out last week (covered in Raptor Chronicles), and at least one fledgling is still on the hidden ledge.  We also are guessing that the male who took the early plunge into freedom has returned back to his protected shelter where his parents still deliver food. We'll continue to monitor as much as possible and will report as soon as more news develops.

The video shows both adults playing in the glass and steel canyons just to the east of their nesting site. Despite the city noise, they could be heard very easily if you were within a hundred yards of where they were slicing through the morning air.
