Thanks Alison. How wonderful you captured additional pics from the box. I guess there is no place like home! |

Wish we could see both of them together too Alison. Perhaps chasebuildingwatcher will give us a report tomorrow. |

Excellent timing, Alison, to capture one of the juvies back on the ledge. |

Oh, I know the sorrow and frustration of not being able to locate a recently fledged chick. I sure hope there is a sighting soon. |

I am so sad to find out that one of the juvies is missing. I can only hope that she is okay and will turn up soon. Zephyr has been amazing this year. Not only did he survive a very serious injury, he made a good recovery and did not allow his injury to prevent him from doing everything he had always done. He incubated the eggs, he hunted, he protected and provided for his family. He is the first tiercel I know of who has managed to raise chicks after losing a foot. Dundas from Hamilton came very close four years ago; he and his mate had eggs, but in a cold, wet spring, they did not hatch. There are so many peregrines who are incredible parents, but I nominate Zephyr for Father of the Year. The last pics I have are from a few days ago; the first pic shows one juvie going into the nest. I thought that might have been the second juvie, but maybe not. Later, one came home for the night. |

This is so sad. I pray they find the little one soon! (Little Harlequin has fledged this am at 5:30) So far so good! |

I second your nomination, Alison, for Zephyr as Father of the Year! What an amazing guy he is! I sure wish there were a ground crew in South Bend to observe the parents who can lead to the missing juvie. I guess we'll just have to wait, but it is killing me not to be able to go up there. |

I see they found the missing and placed her back in the nest. The article disappeared but this is all I found on Google. SOUTH BEND -- The peregrine falcon chick that went missing last week downtown has been returned to its nesting box on County-City Building, ... July 13, 2011 Hope she's OK and both are flying well. Has anyone heard anything? Thanks, Donna |

Donna, thanks for finding that. I hadn't heard any updates on the missing one. |

I'm looking threw the archives and found this little bit so far Carol Riewe] said volunteers painted an orange dot on top of one of the bird's wings and underneath its other wing, so it can be identified easily if it goes missing again. OK thats all I could find at the newspaper |

Post subject: | Re: 2011 SOUTH BEND - April - |
that is great news that the juvie was found. I like the idea of marking her so that she is easily identified. Hopefully she is up high doing well!! |

Well, I obviously can't say with 100% certainty that this is Zephyr...but, I'm pretty sure it is!!! |
