Busy Day March 5: Terzo Still In Charge

Terzo and Morela at the Cathedral of Learning nest, 5 March 2020, 16:14

Thursday 5 March 2020 was such a busy day for the Pitt peregrines that they hardly visited the nest. Finally, at 4:15pm, Terzo called Morela to join him in courtship.

Watch the Pitt peregrines on the National Aviary falconcam at Univ of Pittsburgh.

UPDATE, 6 March 2020, 6:44a: This morning at 6:44a Terzo brought breakfast to Morela which she carried to the nest. They bowed for nine minutes. In the photo you can see his bands and the prey in her talons.

  1. I love watching the Peregrines. I was one of those crazies who called about the baby that was upside down.

  2. Thank you, Kate. Love reading that Terzo at least for now is Morela’s leading man at the Cathedral. Somebody’s there right now on the green ledge. (It’s 9:10)

    We’re going to have a great peregrine season at the Cathedral!

  3. I love the updates and love learning more about the peregrines. From a native Pittsburgher living in AZ.

  4. I just thoroughly enjoy reading this blog and hearing all about our peregrine love story.
    They are very interesting birds. Thank You!
