THE FAMOUS Peregrine Falcons nest on the Joseph Smith Memorial Building has seen no activity since 2015. We will update if a new pair nests in the box.

Chick vs. Parent
Mary Anne caught our chick self feeding this morning! That is a milestone for sure. Two videos below show a shocked looking parent, probably Mom, and look how large baby looks next to her. This could mean 'it' is a 'she'!

Can someone tell me are these the same parents from years past Or are they a child of one of the original parents
We really do not know. I believe that at least a few members of the Watchpost/Rescue Team (Team) feel like the female sure looks like the falcon of 2012 and maybe even a couple of years previous to that. As far as the male, members of the Team are uncertain if it really is the tiercel of 2012. It's tough to identify individual birds year to year unless there's some very obvious physical attribute that really stands out. I watched good portions of at least two, or three feedings today. Solo has an appetite and that's good! Go, Solo!!!
