It's a rock for the birds to perch on.

2012 NESTING SEASON
...cams are up and working! There is a peregrine in the box at the time of this writing - no eggs, yet, but there looks to be a nice scrape! ;D
MayShowers:
Very, very sad news indeed. :'( As Kinderchick mentioned there does seem to be lots of sad news at many nest sites this year.

...necropsy results in - from the utah website:
Neither bird showed any sign of infectious disease, but the lab saw evidence that both birds had suffered from large falls. Amelia had a ruptured crop that led to a bacterial infection and a bruised heart. Sally was extremely emaciated and her crop and intestines were completely empty. She also had a contusion on the top of her head that was likely caused by a large fall.
