They're out there! Although the first bird to fledge met an early end, the
other two --a small female and a male-- are all-over-the-place around
downtown Seattle. They are not hunting for themselves yet, but they chase
pigeons and other birds. Parents Stewart and Belle still provide food, and
the two young *SCREAM* for food whenever an adult is nearby.

Check out the downtown skyscrapers for one, two, or more Peregrines.
Favored spots are One Union Square, or Two Union, or the Financial Center,
or the Key Bank Tower, or.... well, check them out.

If you see them, or if you want to know what's happening, check out the
hotline at 654-4423, and leave your observations on that line, too. (Many
thanks to Ruth Taylor, SAS Master Birder, and long-time observer from the
Falcon Research Group, for keeping up the great reports on the hotline!)

Keep looking! Cheers--EB
