Well if she sticks around she'll have matured more by next year.

Looks like Northern Rough-winged Swallow are getting ready to nest in the bluff cavities near the next box.  They are brown above and whitish below, unlike the Tree Swallows seen at the Flyway, which are shiny dark blue above and white below.  Pic included here for reference.

U-09, the young female peregrine is in the area, watching the swallows.

Saw a barge heading upriver early this morning after dawn

Some rain this morning.  Peregrine U-09 has been perching on a small ledge for quite a while.

She looks rather unhappy.

Newman and U-09 in the nest box  and bluff area this morning.  Not seen together, but both in the same places.  Time for eggs has passed them by this year.  Maybe next?

The peregrines at the nest box at Michigan State's Spartan Stadium have hatched 3 if not all 4 of their eggs this week.  Have a look at this stationary camera to see the fluffy white babies grrow up.  Watch on You Tube.

Happy Mother's Day

The cam ops have provided lovely views of wildflowers and bushes in bloom in the nest box bluff area today.  Enjoy.  Plant IDs welcome, too.

Thanks STL.
Yoohoo is a pretty girl.
Wonder if she'll return next year.

Thank you Shep and STL for Mother's Day greeting.
Hope you both had a wonderful day.
