Kate – are you camera shy or afraid someone will fall off the ledge!?
Nice slideshow… and what a great experience for everyone. Now… how can someone get invited to a banding?
I’m afraid someone (Beth) will fall off the ledge or that one of the adult peregrines will be injured. I would not be a good witness to most accidents because I refuse to watch.
Nice slideshow. That’s a great shot at the top of the page too.
The one, the only one, Kate St. John!!!! What a great set of pictures for us to enjoy. The site sure is interesting & well put together I thought.
They are stunning! Can’t wait for next year!
Great pics! The banding process is so interesting to see!
I’m with you Kate: my eyes would be covered too!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful slideshow, Kate. For those of us outside the Pittsburgh area, you’re our link to all the news about our beloved peregrines and I really appreciate all that you do…
Cool Pics! Thanks for sharing. Always surprised by the size of the young. And their talons!!! Miss seeing them everyday.
