The Peregrine Chick:
One adult (Beau by size) and one juvie (one of the girls I think) at the nestsite yesterday around 6pm.  They were just hanging out, not doing much of nothing ...

Thanks for the report Des.  Glad you saw all five.

Checked the site just before 7:00 this morning.  Walked around the site and saw 5 falcons
When I completed the walk around, the first falcon  - the sentinel on the right was gone, the others left flying purposefully away over the next 10-15 minutes, so I still think there were all 5 at one time, but the "sentinel" which I saw 1st was simply the first to go.  All had left their spots by 7:25.

I was lucky enough to see some aerobatics there on my way home Saturday.
They were putting on a great show in the wind from about 4:00 to at least 4:30.  Mom was there and at least 2 young ones just circling, holding position , sailing around.  One chasing the other at one point.  Just having a great time using the wind!  And motionless often.
And then at times bring their wings  in a bit  and darting through the wind,then swooping around the building corners above and just below...you get the picture.
So fabulous.
Sorry to have missed the picnic, but happy that the route between the 2 things I had to do on that day took me close enough to check on them.
