6.19.25 Peregrine Falcons, Chicago, IL

 On 6.19.25 my father, brother and I visited this McKinley Park industrial building area to check on the Peregrine Falcon family at 8:30AM. We saw the adult male Peregrine (we call Morty) and the adult female (we call Bree) and both fledglings.

On this day Ari and I were interviewed for WGN's Chicago's Very Own about nature observation, conservation and our connection to the Chicago Peregrine Program. Many thanks to Audrey and Erin! This episode will likely be airing on 6.26.25. We saw one of the fledglings fly a longer distance today! See video below.-- Ima
