Thanks everyone!
The last few days have been quieter.
Saturday, we went out about 2:30 pm and found only Beau at the Diner.
Sunday, we went out about 3:30 pm and found Beatrix at the Diner, and two chicks perched on the north side of the B&B.
Monday, about 6 pm we found Beau, Beatrix and one chick sitting on the south sign of the Diner.

This was a very nice sequence of captioned photos, dupre.
I love seeing the birds against your blue, blue sky!

Ditto! It is great to see and hear they are doing well and having fun! I thought they were on their way south.

So yesterday we went looking for peregrines between 6 and 7 pm and had great success.
First we went to the Diner and found Beatrix sitting on top of the south wall. Then another flew in and chased her from her perch. Then a great chase with many aerial acrobats followed. The two were quickly joined by three more. After a few moments two flew west and I lost sight of the others. Shortly after, Beatrix returned to the Diner.
We decided to check out the B&B and found three playing in this area. I spotted one with red tape (Bristol) land on a neighboring building. Then the other two landed there as well. Very shortly two took off, there was a female chasing a male. The male finally landed on a wall, where I think he was safe from being knocked off.
The following photos:
1. Larger female chasing smaller male
2. She almost got him (good thing it is play)
3. Chase continues
4. He lands
5. Don't think she can get me here.
