6.12.25 Peregrine Falcons, Chicago, IL

  On 6.12.25 my father, brother and I visited this McKinley Park industrial building area to check on the Peregrine Falcon family at 9:00AM. We saw the adult male Peregrine adult (we call Morty) and the adult female (we call Bree) and one fledgling. It was dangerously positioned on the electrical pole, but later left it safely.

The Peregrine chicks have fledged! We saw one of two of them, but our friend got here earlier and saw both. Thank you J and J, for checking on them while we were in Canada!

See more about these Peregrine Falcons on my McKinley Peregrines page.


 From 6.12.25-6.14.25 my father, brother and I drove from Chicago, IL to Hamilton, ON and back. This is part of Day 1.
