Peregrine Falcons at JSM Building



Greetings!
 
Today (Saturday) The Salt Lake Tribune has a front page article entitled 
Mr. & Mrs. Peregrine are back in SLC.  The pair of falcons hatched two chicks about three weeks ago in a man-made nesting box on a ledge of the JSM Building.
 
Bob Walters, UDWR, predicts the chicks will fledge around June 19th and hopes to have a small army of volunteers in place to monitor the birds every day during daylight hours.  Call Bob at 538-4771 to volunteer.
 
I was really excited when KC Childs reported seeing these birds earlier this year and it's nice to know how the birds are doing now.  I worked downtown for many years and used to watch the falcons long before I was interested in birding.
 
See you downtown!
