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.

Hatch No. 1
Whoop! We have a baby. Hatch happened sometime before 6:30am local time.
Breakfast at 8:12am. And let me just say, Bob Walters pegged the date perfectly. Note hole/pip in another egg in the top photo. I'd expect hatch two sometime today.
I look at so many photos of this nest each year... I am VERY sure its the same Mom for the last 6 years. When the new male showed up this year is was so apparent, such a different look. Some would argue with me that we can't tell, but this female has a distinctive look to me. I'll make a posting with photos from the various years, and you all see what you think.

#2 just hatched!
Got a pic of the 2nd chick just as it came out. :)
Wahoo!
I will never tire of seeing this! How lucky we are to witness the marvels of nature so closely. Yay, Team SLC Peregrines!
Thanks, Liz, for all your good work.

Do we know if this is the same mom as last year?
