SCHENLEY PLAZA WATCH IS CANCELLED TODAY, JUNE 7.
Instead, I will be Downtown noon-to-1:00pm.

News of Downtown’s peregrines, June 6:
Two of the four nestlings fledged yesterday. We found them at noon perched like bookends on the Boulevard of the Allies, 8-stories high on the corners of Lawrence Hall and Point Park Student Center.
In the evening Lori Maggio found both on Lawrence Hall and one of them was only 2.5 stories up on the Boulevard side. I hope he flies high today.
The remaining two nestlings are still at the nest. My guess is they’re both female.
News from the Cathedral of Learning, June 6:
C1 is browner and has lost more down but she’s still days behind the Downtown nestlings. Yesterday she graduated to the perching phase. There’s not much to see from Schenley Plaza. All the action is still on camera.
Status of Fledge Watch, Tuesday June 7 & 8:
I can’t be in two places at once and the Downtown peregrines are in need of watchers so I won’t be at Schenley.
Schenley Plaza Fledge Watch is cancelled today, June 7 (and probably tomorrow June 8, too).
Check the Events page for updates every day.

I have to say that i fell in love with c1 and feel already sad because he will fledge anytime now. Mom and Dad were devoted parents after a rough start. I wish them all a long and
happy life. Thank you very much for all the updates, I am watching this from Canada
Think C1 just fledged!
Georgann, no she merely walked to a new location that happens to be off camera. She will be off camera for 2+ days before she flies.
