A big thank you to Jacquie for her update and news on the Niagara Falls peregrines! Pretty amazing photos given that they were taken with her camera phone through a spotting scope eyepiece,, (at some very long distances I might add), from the USA side of the Niagara gorge!!
Thanks MUCH Jacquie!!!!

Hi Mark,
Happy Peregrine season! I hope all is well with you.
I just wanted to pass on some info for the Niagara Gorge nest. I was there on April 29 and witnessed a “changing of the guard” at the nest, with the male flying in to take over for the female. I was there again today and the female was sitting tight on the nest, so they are still incubating. The nest has moved again this year, and they are back in the old nest hole, in that lovely nesting tray you guys built for them a couple years ago. So they are nice and observable again this year. I attached two of my photos from April 29. They are not the greatest quality; I took them with my phone through my spotting scope.

P.S. There is still ice at the top of the falls and on terrapin point!
