3.9.24 McKinley Park, Chicago, IL

 Please be aware, this post has some content of the Peregrine Falcons mating.

3.9.24 morning. My mother, father, brother and I visited this McKinley Park industrial building area to check on the Peregrine Falcon pair. We first spotted the male on the east facing side of a tower. We believe this to be the entrance to the scrape nest. There were many birds of prey flying over. The Peregrine Falcon male watched them. 

My father and I returned in the late afternoon before dusk. The pair of Peregrine Falcons mated.
