The Peregrine Chick:
This female is still around Terre Haute ... in 2012 she was paired with a Wisconsin male (neither of them have names so far as I can tell) and they produced 3 chicks - Sycamore, State and Rex. Nice to see she is passing along her very pretty genes!

But, I wouldn't dismiss Mr. Marks' claim out of hand. He saw what he saw. He said he "thought" it was a peregrine falcon, not he "knew" it was. And I'd suggest, given that the bird subsequently brought its own prey to the balcony to eat, it may well have done so many times before. Who knows, perhaps it has or has had a cache there, in which case I'd think a raw pork chop might be indistinguishable from any other dead meat.
