And there is a nest box on one of the Statesman Towers, so perhaps the birds are showing interest in it.

Now that's exciting!!!
Alison:
I posted the information on this bird on the Indy site for those who had been wondering who this bird is. Laura James-Reim passed the info on to John Castrale at the Indiana DNR.
An update from Laura James-Reim:
A little bit of an update on the Terre Haute birds. Seems like there might be a love triangle going on or at least there was at one time. John said there was a report of two peregrines spotted on campus this past weekend but unfortunately no identification on either one of them. He also said at one time there were three birds spotted - 2 juveniles and 1 adult (which I think Denise may have already told us a while back). So at this point, there are 2 peregrines at ISU, just not sure at this point who they are. We may have to wait until courting/nesting begins in order to sort out what is going on unless someone can spot a band before then.
And the Raptor Center had just sent John a note about S/34. Thanks again AlisonL!

Wow she is a golden girl ;D :-*

Oh my, she is absolutely stunning! Good luck to her. I hope she finds a suitable mate and produces beautiful, strong and healthy chicks in a few years time...
GOOD LUCK to all those juvies this year! We wish for you to return one day, someday......with a mate and territory to raise your very own chicks!
Alison:
The peregrine seen at the Statesman Towers in Terre Haute, Indiana, band black/green S/34, has now been identified.
She is from a nest at the Washington University Medical School in St Louis, Missouri, banded on May 18 of this year. She is one of three chicks at this nest -- two females and one male.
She is a very beautiful juvie.
