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.

Guest Photo
Shelly made this great image of Hunter, Skye and Ace yesterday looking out from the Key Bank building yesterday. The kids were playing on the World Trade Center (Eagle Gate) tower. So good to see them all together!
Wonderful photo. Thanks to Shelly. The lofty location and others in the downtown area where the birds perch is directly responsible for what is oft described as a pain in the neck among urban falcon watchers! Nonetheless, it's well worth it if we can "round 'em up" during the ongoing effort to monitor the family. All three spotted early this a.m. (July 23) by Don.
So true Bob! Strained eyes and sore neck follow my two weeks at Falcon Central each year. I hope to stop there Sunday morning to see if I can catch a glimpse.
Thurs., August 14 at >6:03 p.m.: One young-of-the-year observed perched atop the Zions Bank Tower (west end on north face = near the northwest corner), wailing to get the attention of an adult perched to the west on top of the Gateway West Tower at the northeast corner RW
