I'm so glad Lil Dad is back. The news on the site was updated yesterday:
2/4/2010 :: Male Peregrine- Still No Sighting
This female has been in this situation before. The original male was injured six years ago and could not be returned to the wild. She spent a lot of time away from her usual perches and spent more time at places where he had habitually perched. Then, she was gone from the area for longer periods of time. A little more than six weeks after the original male was injured she pair bonded with the current male. We know that there are many ranging individual peregrines out there looking for nesting territories. These wandering peregrines will opportunistically displace breeding adults.
And later:
2/4/2010 :: Male Peregrine Returns!
At 1:25 PM today, February 4, 2010 the Rachel Carson male peregrine was spotted on the southeast corner of the ledge. This ends his long absence from the ledge and renews expectations for another successful nesting season.
About the original male; after rehab for his injury, he ended up at ZooAmerica in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Some of the people who had watched him over the years went to see him there, and found that he had a large enclosure which he shared with another male peregrine who coincidentally had been born on the same bridge. He looked in good condition.
A year or two ago, there was apparently a hole in the fence of the enclosure, and the Harrisburg male left. I can only hope he was able to fly well enough to hunt and survive in the wild.
