Three young peregrines are growing at the Gulf Tower and will fledge before you know it.  It’s time for Fledge Watch, May 26-30, 2017.

This year the Downtown watch will be a purely social occasion.  The Gulf Tower is so tall that we don’t have to worry that the young birds will land in the street.  Instead we’ll have a falcon fans get-together and an opportunity to educate the public about peregrines.

With that in mind, on weekdays I’ll be at The Pennsylvanian entry — 1100 Liberty Avenue — where folks can stop by during lunch hour.  On Memorial Day weekend John English and I will be up at Flag Plaza where there’s plenty of free parking and a good view of the Gulf Tower.

Here are the details.
