Is there any information on the falcons themselves like are they banded or how old they are?

alison, we were watching at the same time....I think these pics are different:

Image

I also did the Google earth thing. . I'm pretty sure this is the nest on the bridge:

Image

PA is to the North, NJ to the south

Image

Fledging must be really dangerous. There are no islands and once you come down off the arch, you have the road, walk/bicycle route on either side of the road with not very high rails. I actually "walked" across the bridge .. it was "fun"!!! :hollaugh: I'm not sure the distance between the top of the arch and land. . I should have looked at that.

I tried enlarging to see if I could see bands .. no luck. .

Found out some more info on the Tacony-Palmyra pair from Kathy Clark. That site's actually had a webcam for a few years, but it wasn't available online (only at the nature center). She's not sure of the adult male's ID (she glimpsed a red & black auxiliary band a few years ago, but no good looks since). The female was banded in 2005 at a nest in Hempstead, NY. Apparently they have the ability to zoom the cam, so perhaps someday we'll get a closer look at the bands to confirm ID's. :holthumbup:

Oh, and the annual Peregrine report from F&W should be available soon!

Thank you for the additional information on this pair, Mike! I hope it will be possible to read bands at some point.

One was at the nest today; I think this is the female, with a nice full crop.

Thanks for the new pics Alison!

Got a report from a contact at 10 Exchange Place of a Peregrine flying over the building last Friday. :holthumbup:

The 2012 NJ Peregrine Falcon report has been published by the Endangered & Nongame Species Program (PDF file). Always a great read, and an overall very good nesting season in the state! :corkpop:

Thanks for the report. Well it looks like the little ones on the Tacony-Palmyra bridge fledged too.
