Is this a flock of crows? No!
Anne Marie Bosnyak went Downtown last Saturday to find Pittsburgh’s Gulf Tower peregrines and she hit the jackpot. At the corner of Fifth and Wood she saw two on the edge of the Citizen’s Bank Building. As she watched, an adult arrived with food and four juveniles popped in for a meal. From the looks of this, I doubt they were planning to share.
When they aren’t hanging out elsewhere the youngsters have lunch at the U.S. Steel Tower where Patti Mitsch can watch them outside her 38th floor window. Here are four snapshots from cellphone videos she shared with me on Facebook.
And just to prove that peregrines match the buildings, here’s another close-up.
If I had a peregrine outside my window I’d be unable to work for days! 😉

Hi Kate, that was a great shot by Anne Marie. They also hang out the window ledges at the Oliver Bldg. facing Mellon Square. Judi had them right outside her window a couple of times when she worked there. DOUG Ps. thanks for the directions, here’s hoping.

That last shot is priceless. Reminds me of Silver Boy. Keep enjoying that view, Ms. Mitsch!
Thanks for sharing those great shots, so much fun to watch them grow!
