Birds :: Peregrine Falcons at the University of Michigan
The Peregrines nested again in the box provided on the roof of the University of Michigan Hospital. The four chicks were banded on 25 May 2012. Here are some photos of the adults and chicks.

We continue to collect bird remains at the base of the Bell Tower, as the adults still use the tower as a feeding and resting site. If you find something, please let us know.
The chicks have been featured in AnnArbor.com
