I just heard from a FB freind that he witnessed the first flight!
So I googled and then I found your site, Kate!
I am coming up to Oakland tomorrow or Friday to witness this amazing experience!
Keep up the wonderful work!

See me climb up!” It won’t last long. As soon as they know how to fly they’ll play games in the air.

Though one of em just started flapping like crazy and taking quick little runs – I thought for it was about to jump/fall off.

Being able to see still pics and video hotspots of the action is wonderful!

These Peregrines frequently do something unexpected. I am always learning something new!

Great description of what turned out to be a learning experience for the nestlings and for the rest of us!

They almost pushed her out of the nest – poor Dorothy she looked like she was in a war zone with all those screaming kids.
