[Birdtalk] JSMB Peregrine update

[Steve Sommerfeld]

One of the Peregrine falcon youngsters did fly out of the nest box, this
morning around 7:30.  He flew to  the building just east of the Joseph Smith
Memorial Building (JSMB) .  After a successful landing he attempted to head
back toward the nest box.  Unable to gain altitude he ended up in the
flowerbed.  He was captured, deemed healthy by a Vet, banded, and released
on top of the JSMB.
Because of his earlier than expected flight he has been named "Early".  Yes,
our Vet said he is a he.
As of 9:30 this evening he was still up top JSMB on the north side.  With
some vocals he has made his parents aware of his location.
This evening several of us watching were treated to some incredible
aerobatics by the parents.
