A beloved male peregrine falcon has died in Manayunk, Philadelphia. He was banded, 10 years old, and nicknamed Manny. Sadly, one of his legs was severed, quite possibly by a drone.

Had the peregrines moved back to the Cathedral? I know 5-6 years ago they were on a tower near the Eiffel Tower and that historically (pre-1900) they had nested on the Cathedral, but hadn't heard they'd made it back to the Cathedral ... ???

That information was provided on the day of the fire by reliable sources in France, people who have studied peregrines for many years and have a great deal of knowledge about them.

They were doing restorations on the building. Sometimes they don't like all the disturbances, so maybe the falcons were not there. :-\
