Peregrine Falcon Chicks!
7 June 2024
I've been wondering since December if there was a peregrine falcon nest in Riverside Church, in the traditional location. Today, I got my confirmation: I saw three juveniles who have not yet fledged. Other reports say that one nestling has already fledged. Possibly, it's two—there were apparently five chicks, and I only saw three today.

The adult is bringing food home to the chick, which is vocalizing.
