4.30.26 Peregrine Falcons, Chicago, IL

Please be aware, this post has content of a Peregrine Falcon with prey.

On 4.30.26 my family and I visited this McKinley Park industrial building area twice to check on the Peregrine Falcon family at 9:15AM. We saw the adult male Peregrine (we call Morty) and the adult female Peregrine (we call Bree). We believe this tube is the new scrape (egg laying site).

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