The birds left & did not use the nest box. One peregrine has been hanging out there this spring but it’s unknown whether he/she has a mate.

I had NO idea this area was drawing so many Peregrines!! Whether it’s natural behavior or not – I don’t care. I’m just glad they are surviving.

Suzanne said she has mixed feelings about peregrines roosting on city buildings. This is because it is not natural behavior for peregrines, she said. We concluded our lunch by saying perhaps a new type of peregrine is joining the regular kind (out of necessity, perhaps).
