August has been boring for watching Pittsburgh’s peregrines outdoors. It’s hot, the adults are molting and lethargic, and the youngsters have left town. Even when female ownership changes at Pitt we never see it happen.
A month ago outdoor watching was more interesting. On July 14 Lori Maggio photographed C1 perched on the Heinz Chapel steeple.
Shortly thereafter C1 left town to begin life on her own.
Since then the best place to watch the peregrines has been on the nestcams: Cathedral of Learning and Gulf.

Great photo of C1.
It’s so hard to believe she has been gone a month. I think of her so often.
Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing.
Hope she nests somewhere that has a nest cam and her band is noted so we will know where she ended up. Would love to see her come to Lansing Michigan where we just lost our female Viper who got hit by a car. Nest is on our power station and the male Eckert is handsome. They had just raised and fledged 4 beautiful babies.
Somebody sleeping at Gulf Tower (Dori? Louie?) at 18:16:00, its now 18:18:00 on 08/19/16
It is 1:30 p.m. on Saturday there is someone in the Box it is black over red and I I think it’s purple on the other foot it looks like Magnum
Patty, I can’t tell who it is. That said … the bird appears to have black/red on the left leg & right leg band is silver. Those are the colors for Terzo. The face looks like Terzo to me.
I saw the bands, and it was silver , so it was Terzo. I wonder if Hope is creating more drama.
Glad that it was Terzo on my phone it was hard to see the color of the band
It is 4 o’clock and there is someone at the nest can’t make out the band yet
At 4:09 there was another falcon I think was terzo only stayed about 2 minutes
