The boys are doing great. Flying a lot and landing fairly well. They hang together a lot of the time, if not on the same building, within sight of one another.

The best news was learning the ID of the new male. Jeffery the 2016 hatch from Pleasant Prairie Power Plant. He was an only chick that year. Greg Septon is delighted to hear one of his survived and found a home.

Well, we had a little falcon drama Monday evening. We had a report from one of our watchers who works on the 30th floor of Market Tower that she heard a thud which sounded like a bird strike. She and her co-workers searched building ledges, nearby rooftops in their view, and the alley below with no luck.

I drove downtown and met up with Leanne who works downtown in the Salesforce building (alas no view since she is only on the 5th floor). Before I arrived she talked to one of the MT security personnel who said Sunday night they found a large banded bird - flattened. He had no idea what happened to it and did not take the initiative to do anything, including just reading the bands. Could this be on of our falcons, Sesenta, a racing pigeon? We will never know about the last two.

The most Leanne I and I were able to see were the two juveniles and Willow. Just not seeing Jeffery doesn't mean much of anything. Nevertheless, I went down yesterday morning. I saw both Webster and Whitehead and an adult.

However, later Leanne is 99.9% sure she saw all 4. Since she was alone, she is not definitely calling it. I am going down tomorrow morning to see what I can see.

On a positive note, the juvies are flying great and mostly nailing their landings. A few times they circle around for another approach, but they are evaluating the safety of the spot and not doing those scary tumbles.

Both Monday evening and yesterday morning I saw the kids engage in playful activity. Knocking Willow off her perch and even better, twisting and turning in the air involving one another. Talon tag has begun! :biggrin:

:loveheart: Hi Gigi- so glad that your juvies are doing well. I’ll bet it’s a relief when they get past that first accident prone stage of fledging. Have a Good time watching them tomorrow. Seems like the security people should be familiarized with the fact that peregrine falcons live on the building and need to be protected too. I’m kind of surprised the guy was so unaware.

Nancy and I were downtown for a little while this morning and Webster and Whitehead are doing very well. Flying and landing very well and engaging in talon tag.

Seeing Willow on the perch was a bonus since it helped us look in the right direction. We may have seen both adults, but cannot confirm it was Jeffery or a juvie acting very grown up.

I think some are intentionally unengaged. Some are interested and some are not. Next year we will speak with the head of security and maybe give him a flyer to hand out to the security crew.

A few years ago, when Schatzi crashed and died on top of the parking garage, they disposed of her body. The parking attendants had no idea what they were looking at. Luckily we were able to retrieve her body after getting permission to go through the trash. And the truth is that we may be dealing with different people every year.
