The Peregrine Chick:
2013 NESTING SEASON

Indy Froona was back this winter and left again when Hoffman and his mate returned (she really really needs a name!).  Four eggs laid in April, all four hatched in May, were banded in June and fledged in July.  There were three males (Linnaeus, Asa & Carver) and one female (Frances).
