Any Peregrine News?

Since last week’s announcement of the new peregrine at the Cathedral of Learning, several of you have asked if there’s any news from Downtown or the other sites in southwestern Pennsylvania. No, there isn’t any news except for this:

Yesterday, 13 October 2019, Dana Nesiti stopped by the Westinghouse Bridge and confirmed that both male and female peregrines are present. Two of his photos are shown here.

Other than that it is very quiet. I stop by the Cathedral of Learning when I can and see the same things over and over: quiet airspace, no peregrines, or peregrines snoozing on the building.

If you see peregrine activity at Pitt or anywhere in southwestern Pennsylvania, please tell me by leaving a comment on my blog (it sends me an email).

If you can’t be here to look for peregrines, rest assured that I will tell you whatever news I have.

No news really is no news.

  1. Tarentum:
    Our speckle-breasted female was back to perching on a lamppost multiple times Sunday evening. Photos on my Facebook page.

  2. This has to do to a banded pigeon in my yard for about 6 days. Who do I contact? Not afraid of me. Eats seeds. Belongs to someone. HELP

    1. Judith, if it’s a racing pigeon there may be multiple bands but one of them will have a (long) number on it. If the number looks like a phone number, call it. If not, you’ll have to look it up on the Internet to get contact information. … If there’s no number there’s nothing you can do.
