An email arrived a few weeks ago, from Joel and Shad, with this lovely message from a group of over 60 Lawrence Peregrines fans at a very successful startup company in London!! Shad and Joel here. We work at a startup in London, UK. We found the webcam for the Peregrines on the tower a […]

The adult male was observed on the south side of the New Balance building along Merrimack Street. Initially, the male was perched along the […]

What a nice surprise to see one of the 2018 hatch year fledglings around the Clock Tower late this afternoon. It was another steamy hot day with clear skies, light winds, and temp well over 90F. Just happened to catch a glimpse of a peregrine and upon a close look, it was one of the […]

Made a stop by the Clock Tower on Tuesday morning at 8:45AM under bright sun and clear skies, winds from the W at 6MPH and temp at. 84F. The female was perched on the nest box perch pole. This strongly suggested that the fledglings were close by. Sure enough, one of them, 27/BU was picking […]

Usually, each youngster may land and remain at a special resting/feeding area near the nest box. At this location, it will receive food from the adults. After a few days, the fledged young may be grouped together to be fed, by either parent. At first this is typically a bill to bill transfer of pieces, […]

Hi, Craig! This site is spectacular! I am working with the 21 st Century program at the Wetherbee School doing a river study of the Merrimack. We took our students on their first barge ride yesterday up river and saw a red tail chasing a great blue heron, many hawks, geese, mallards, and other birds. A rainbow on the way back. I had no idea there were kestrels in the area, nor did I know of the peregrines. My brother ( Craig, also!) has a live video feed of a nest at the top of the Marriott in Boston. I’m wondering if you had time to come share your knowledge with our 3 rd and
4 th graders at the Wetherbee some day after school? If not, I’ll have them blog you on this site. Btw. I live in a lake in Tyngsboro and witnesses a pair if swans harassing some Canada geese this morning. Can they move! I could go on and on about our wildlife, but that’s for another day. Can’t wait to visit the rookery in NA. Thanks again for your site. Kate Oliver
