The peregrines at East Liberty Presbyterian Church steeple are very lively as they put together to nest.
Every week in the past on 11 March Jeff Cieslak stopped by and located each birds at house.
He caught one within the act of touchdown on its favourite floodlight.
And Jeff noticed them doing a whole lot of flying. Adam Knoerzer came upon why.
The pair was vigilant on 11 March as a result of a 3rd peregrine confirmed up and took an curiosity of their territory. Adam captured a video of the encounter because the pair flew round chirping and drove the intruder towards Morningside/Stanton Heights and the Allegheny River. Flip up the quantity to heard their territorial sound. The chirp sounds “blissful” however it’s not!
Yesterday, 18 March, Adam noticed the male flying so much and each of them perched of their favourite spots.
The feminine wished to mate once more.
After they mated, the male stopped by the nest.
Don’t let the sticks idiot you. Peregrines don’t use sticks however the ledge is sloped and this previous red-tailed hawk nest prevents the eggs from rolling off the constructing. Final yr they fledged one teenager from this nest.
Cease by East Liberty to take a look at the motion. With all this mating, eggs are absolutely on the best way
