2011 Malteurop Nesting Report PDF
5/11/2011 When I visited the nest box yesterday, I found one chick and at least one egg (see below). I couldn't see behind the chick, so the third egg may still be there. Whether the remaining eggs hatch or not remains to be seen. The adults weren't happy with my close inspection of their youngster, so I didn't spend much time there. -Greg

The new female mamma (from Gary, Indiana) who replaced Raynie: Amylase (contributed by Gene Gestwicki of Malteurop)
6/16/2010 I stopped by late this afternoon and took a look in the nest box where I found two healthy looking youngsters. They are about 4-5 days of age. We'll likely band near the end of the month. Also, the adult male is banded black/green, but I was unable to see any numbers. My gut says its still JJ. -Greg
7/17/2009 After a disappointing situation earlier this year when only one of four eggs hatched (and then died), the female Peregrine, Rainie, has produced four more eggs. It is quite late in the year for this to occur. With the warmer weather, we are hoping for great success for this batch of eggs.
