The Peregrine Chick:
Do we have a confirmation on the birds' identities yet Linderlou? ???
Linder:
2011 NESTING SEASON
Well these two have been hanging around the area and the nest box for the winter. Spring is in the air for these two and reports of bonding and making a scrape at the nest box have been observed, as well as canoodling. Possible eggs in the future at this site.

The Brandywine Building was built in 1970 and renovated in 2000. It is a 19 storey, 79 foot building in the modernist style build of steel and granite. It is located at the gateway to Wilmington's downtown area and is a major feature on the city skyline. The Wilmington Peregrine Falcon Webcam Project is a collaborative effort of the DOS, DuPont's Clear into the Future, United States Fish & Wildlife Service, Delaware's DNREC and the Buccini-Pollin Group.

Resident Pairs & Offspring:
* 2014 - Trinity & Red Girl --> ?
* full list coming soon
Linder:
It would seem at this site although this pair did not have eggs, they are forming a strong bonding and commitment to site. It will be next year waiting in anticipation to see if a hatch comes from this pair.

..the website here has also concluded no new eggs for this nest this year; a bit disappointing, but such is life in the falcon world; here's hoping for next year! :-\
