The tree is about 4 stories high, and the nest is near the top…it’s HUGE! The house is surrounded by about 10 acres of open fields & woods.

We just spotted them this past few weeks. They regularly go out and hunt, sometimes bringing food back to their nest. We’ve found rabbit fur and squirrel carcasses, so we know they are eating small animals here.

Did these two come from the Macomb County Bldg? Is there any organization that might be interested in their activity? Please send me a message to let me know. Thank you

But it’s colors were lighter, more off-white and grey than the Peregrin pictures I see on this site. Do the colors of Peregrines lighten up in the Winter?

From my observations – I put the “Mate-for-life” theory to rest. I observed males, “cheatin’ on their mates, and a certain female, Sunrise (rel. Cincinnati, OH ’91) made her “digs’ at the Whittier Apts.Detroit, MI ’94), as the “Floozy” of the Falcon World. She was the “other, woman of the tiercel, Pop, later, “dated” his son, Speedster (who left her to go to the Fisher Bldg. and “settle-down” with his Auntie H (his daddy’s sister).
After many flings with other males, Sunrise, finally, in 2000, “settled-in” with Allegro (wild produced – Cleveland, OH ’98). He was “sweetie # 17! She was, finally), replaced in ’05 by a new female, Miriam (rel. Toronto, On ’03).
The “S’ MI “Soaps” continued with the Monroe Power Plant, (Monroe, MI) male “flying-around the stacks with other females while his mate, Monrow was sitting on the eggs in the I-beam!
