In March, 2007, Erie, the male at the site, fought off an invading male peregrine. In late 2007 Erie may have been replaced by another male peregrine. As of spring 2008 it appears he is no longer present at the nest. (Read the associated story from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette or see Kate St. John’s Bird Blog.)
Dorothy is the female parent at this site.
In 2007 Dorothy and Erie fledged 4 chicks, all of which were banded in May 2007.
