Latest update:
What a beautiful morning. Freddie and Voltaire were at it when I arrived at 7:00 this morning. The chicks are like teenagers “when it comes to food, you step on there foot and there mouth opens!” I know that I knew that peregrines grow to full size in roughly 40 days but to see this growth from one day to the next is astounding. Our parents are very keen hunters and very diligent parents. Freddie might wear the pants in the family but Voltaire sometimes tells him which leg to put on first. The chicks spend far more time alone and are wandering around freely on the nest ledge. They have discovered the food stashes in the right corner of the nest but I can’t say that they are attempting to raid the fridge on their own yet. We should have some newer chick flicks in the next couple of days. It was alot cooler tonight and when we left the youngsters were huddled in the corner wishing they had a space heater

Hmmm, think I posted most of that earlier ... but you wrote it better Alison! ;)
Alison:
What a genetic background Freddie has!
His father, Fury, was born in 1997 at One Summit Square, Fort Wayne. In 2002 he was badly injured; he was not releasable and became an education bird.
Fury is a son of Freedom and Roosevelt, still the resident pair at Fort Wayne.
Roosevelt's mother was Aurora, from Aurora, Ontario, and his father was Bandit of the Rhodes Tower in Columbus, Ohio.
Freddie's mother, *7/X, was born at the Lazarus Building in Dayton, Ohio, a daughter of Mercury and his second mate Baltimore, 7/D.
Freddie is also an older brother of Victory, 2/*1, born 2002, who was the former mate of Orville at the Rhodes Tower in Columbus until she was injured in 2006.
I haven't found any info on Voltaire so far.
