PA / Pittsburgh - Cathedral of Learning - 2009-22
The Peregrine Chick:
2022 NESTING SEASON
In September 2019 a new unbanded female Peregrine arrived at the Cathedral of Learning, named Morela (Polish for “apricot”) for the distinctive apricot-colored wash on her chest and face that makes her recognizable on camera. Because she is unbanded, we don’t know where she came from.
Morela and Ecco again raised four young in their second year together in 2022.

2021 NESTING SEASON
In September 2019 a new unbanded female Peregrine arrived at the Cathedral of Learning, named Morela (Polish for “apricot”) for the distinctive apricot-colored wash on her chest and face that makes her recognizable on camera. Because she is unbanded, we don’t know where she came from.
Morela and Ecco raised their first clutch, fledging four chicks in 2021.
The Peregrine Chick:
2020 NESTING SEASON
A new lady friend who has been name Morela joined Terzo at the nestbox in the fall. Haven't had any updates on the pair since about October.
Morela is Polish for apricot - she was named for the colour on her breast feathers. A number of our breeding females get a dark salmon/rusty wash on their breast after the nesting season, so I suspect this is what Morela was displaying when she was identified. No idea if she has bands or not. If she doesn't it will be interesting to hear if she returns, if she still has her apricot-coloured breast in the spring.
And it appears the webcam is up and running - the link is below.

2019 NESTING SEASON
Hope and Terzo have been at their nestsite all winter.
Last report was on 28 Dec 2018 when they were spotted at the nestbox bowing.
