Thanks to Geoff Pampush from The Peregrine Fund located in Boise, Idaho, we had a very enjoyable opportunity to join the 2018 Peregrine Falcon Migration Study survey team on South Padre Island for two days at the end of September. Each fall, as part of a long-term research program on Peregrine Falcons, a survey team […]

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 pass by the Clock Tower yesterday afternoon on the lookout for some of the peregrine falcons. One of the adults was perched on one of the granite ledges on the NW corner. It departed in flight for a few moments, and then returned and landed onto the metal grates on the SW corner […]

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 […]

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
