The peregrine falcons at the Cathedral of Learning, Ecco and Carla, are already thinking about the upcoming nesting season. Two months from now Carla will be only days away from her first egg so the peregrines are ramping up courtship this month, snow or no.

There’s been snow on the nest since 2 January but that hasn’t stopped their visits. Yesterday the temperature nudged above freezing for most of the day and shrank the snow cover. At 4pm Ecco and Carla stopped by for a courtship bowing session.

If you’re lucky this month you’ll see them in the still shot at FALCONCAM – CL snapshots.

Stay tuned for the National Aviary‘s Live Stream that starts in February.
