Ecco prepares dinner on the small roof while “Blue” watches from the nestrail (photo by John English)

2 June 2026

At yesterday evening’s Fledge Watch both peregrine parents brought food to the Cathedral of Learning and made a big show of plucking and preparing dinner for their four youngsters.

“Blue” watched his father from the nestrail but gave up and went to the nestbox to wait.

When Ecco was ready he carried the food across the nestrail toward the nest to entice the “kids” to come up the Launch Zone for it.

No one came up top so Ecco delivered it to the nest.

As of this writing (4pm on 6/2/2026) 3 of the 4 youngsters have left the nest and are (probably) on the nestrail.

Fledge Watch continues. Stop by at Schenley Plaza at the times shown below.
