Dorothy and E2 are the parents at this site. Dorothy has nested here since 2002. E2 arrived in the fall of 2007 when Dorothy's previous mate, Erie, disappeared. Together they fledged 3 chicks in 2008, one of whom died in a flying accident. For recent news on Pittsburgh's peregrines, Kate St. John’s Bird Blog.
