Birds Local Peregrines

[iamdlewis]

So I am posting this in the hopes that it will magically change the fate of the local peregrines. For a couple years I would watch the falcon cameras waiting for the peregrines to have a successful breeding, then wait for the kids to take flight and then go spend a few mornings and evenings on the top of a parking garage capturing the family doing their thing. Last year was the first year in over a decade that a new pair started using the nesting box and they were not successful. This appears to be the case again this year. That is why I hope this post changes that.
So some shots from the good years.
