Haven't heard how Lilith and Juliet fared the storm, but I do have a call in ... more news as I get it.

I'm so sorry to hear about Nipper.

Juliet and Lilith are such beautiful names.

Dennis - thank you for the photos - as always, they are wonderful

LOL  Dennis, you are so busted!!!  They caught you in the act!  Do you want their autographs too?  I am sure something could be arranged, haha. 
In all seriousness, I have so loved all your photos.  You have a gift for getting and sharing the best shots of these peregrines with us!!  You are a great shutterbug, or should I say, phantashutterbug!!!  Thank you.

Sorry, meant to let you all know that Lilith and Juliet are both hanging out together (like in Dennis' photos) still and still hanging out close to the hack site which means they are getting still getting fed well and don't seem to be attracting any attention from owls or whatever.  Good news.

I'm curious, TPC, would an owl or another raptor be attracted to the quail that is being left at the hack site for "the girls" and could another raptor even access the food? ???

Drove by the Diner yesterday about 7:30 pm, the worst of the storm had passed, and saw one falcon.

Dennis and I did a little tripping today and we found only one bird on the Diner this morning in the rain and thought by the very black head that it was Beau.  When we went past later both Jules and Beau were sitting on the Dinner together, well about 10 feet apart which is side-by-side for a peregrine.

At last report, Lilith and Juliet were still sticking close to each other and close to the hack site.  Doesn't look like they are being bothered by other raptors which is great news.

Birdy sitting pretty on the diner this morning, tucked in on the R, south side. Looked so golden, I thought it might be a juvenile bird. No time to ogle though as I was in rush hour traffic. Then I realized that it might just be the angle of the sun that gave her/him such a warm colour.

 ;D ;D  Hi Cooper! Thanks for posting your sighting of our WW juvie. I left Polo Park S.C around 10:30 this morning. Perhaps the falcon was there observing the same thing I saw on Ness. I must have passed through before they closed Ness. Must admit, I was trying to spot a falcon. The following ruined that. ::) >:(
