The Ballard Bridge Peregrine nest had 3 chicks as far as I could see
from the water below.
On Wed. there were two chicks screaming for food, one clearly close
to fledging. Not sure if the third chick was hidden, dead or had left
the nest. Given the vertical surfaces of the bridge pilings, there is
a pretty good chance that the fledglings might drown on their first flight
