The 5 St. Louis chicks were banded today, but no data published yet

They dined on two birds this evening

In my search for more info on the falcons in Seattle 1201 Third street building I found this on a Blog

Quote:

Peregrinations
Ed Deal reports the following local peregrine band returns.
1. A nestling (A-62) he banded at the famous downtown Seattle eyrie (1201 Third Avenue Building-“WAMU”) on 3 June 2011 has been seen hunting near Alameda CA on the shores of San Francisco Bay in November. Ed reports...”She was the only survivor of three eyasses. Interestingly, she was recently photographed hunting shorebirds on 28 SEPT 2011 near Hansville, WA (20 miles or so NW of Seattle). She is the second Washington Mutual bird to make it to California (a HY male was killed by a plane at LAX many years ago).”
2. Ed writes...”A second WAMU female banded in the nest 24 MAY 2002, was picked up badly injured in Oakridge, OR (42 miles southeast of Eugene) 15 March 2011, taken to rehab, later had to be euthanized. Suspected to be part of a nearby breeding pair. Given normal reproduction starting at age 2, she would have had potentially 7 breeding seasons. So there are likely many grandchildren of Stewart and Belle in the central Oregon Cascades!” This is so nice to know...

On this site:

there is no info about 2011 or this year (yet), just a report on the 2009 season and previous years plus pictures. Also info about the "Southern Cross Peregrine project"

Ah, so this IS the same building as before; just a different cam link. I never watched the Seattle cam before, so I assumed this was a different location. Thanks for the info, DEF.

I'm starting to wonder about Mayo the eggs should be starting anytime now, I sure hope it isn't a failed nest again this year
