If anyone hears who the adults are here, please let me know and I can update the page. Last time we knew was in 2013.
The male here continues to be the one and only Lil Dad. Lil Dad was born on the Walt Whitman Bridge in Philadelphia in 2003, and first came to Harrisburg in 2005. He is banded black/red W/V (somewhat faded now).
The resident female is Niecey. She was born in 2009 on a bridge connecting Pennsylvania and Delaware, the Delaware River Bridge. She has been at the Harrisburg nest since 2012. She is banded black/green 48/AE on the left leg, and a silver federal band on the right leg with green tape.
Her father was a brother of the original long-time resident female, known as Mom. That is the reason she was called Niecey.
She replaced the resident female, NG (for New Girl), who had become extremely ill and disappeared after raising two chicks in 2012. NG had arrived at the nest in 2010 after the loss of Lil Dad's long-time mate, the iconic falcon known as Mom.
