Alison:
2015 NESTING SEASON

Dorothy, the long-time resident female at this nest, was born at the Firstar Center in Milwaukee in 1999. She and her mate, E2, from the Gulf Tower nest in Pittsburgh, nest at the Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh.

Last year, Dorothy was able to lay her first egg. She became eggbound with her second egg, a life-threatening condition. She was finally able to pass the egg in pieces. She laid no more eggs, and continued to look unwell.

After what she had been through last year, and another very long and harsh winter, she was thought to be beyond her reproductive years. Even Kate St. John, who is very knowledgeable about peregrines, wrote her off in her blog some time ago.

But Dorothy had other ideas.

On April 2, she laid an egg!



On April 5, she laid a second egg:
