Wow! What a concept!! I can actually see the Gulf Tower from one end of my house’s roof….during the winter, if I climb up onto my neighbors roof – I can see the COL. I might actually be able to see specs that are Falcons from up there now!!

I am thinking that the COL team would view this end as part of their distant territory? I doubt they’d come out this far though -

Still, when my child isn’t around to see me climb out of the house onto the roof (God forbid he figures that out!!) I’m going up there to see what I can see. I’ll probably have more luck with Tasha and Louie!!

In the meantime, I can’t WAIT to get out to Oakland!! Maybe I’ll see a food exchange up close???

The juvenile peregrines are certainly at Pitt. I saw 3 this afternooon: 15th floor North, 25th floor West and one on the corner of the roof nearest Dippy the Dino. With your new binos you’ll probably be able to find the fourth from your house.

You lucky person! Yes you are hearing them. They are still begging for food from their parents.

I work on the 23rd floor of the CL. I’ve been hearing for two days what sounds like the falcons. Then yesterday I sat outside trying to see if I could locate them. I think that I did see them flying around the CL upper floors.
On a side note, my co-worker had one of the falcons eat a pigeon outside her window on 2320–on her airconditioner–last October. She said that it was thrilling to see one up so close.

I have so enjoyed watching your webcams in Pittsburgh. I got hooked on the Rochester Falconcam last year. Seeing this video of a first fledge is so exciting! Right place and right time and I loved it! Thanks to all of you!
