The males (Red and Blue) will leave first followed by their sisters (Green and Yellow). Peregrine chicks always follow these steps on their way to first flight. Pull the white fluff off their feathers and become dark brown. Spend a lot of time flapping and exercising their wings. Make running almost airborne leaps across the gravel … and then … Walk up the bulwark and out of camera view to stand on the nestrail. When they’ve left the falconcam the best way to see them is from Schenley Plaza. Come join me at the Schenley Plaza tent (shown above) for Pitt Peregrine Fledge Watch. The photo at top from June 2025 is an example of what you’ll see. Pitt Peregrine Fledge Watch, Schenley Plaza, 31 May – 5 June 2026 Schenley Plaza tent, June 2021 (photo by Kate St. John) Pitt…
