I stopped by the Taughannock Gorge Peregrine eyrie yesterday afternoon. Sadly, the nest ledge was empty. I had just returned from a week in Idaho the night before last and was eager to check on the nest. There had been three tiny chicks and one unhatched egg last week, before I left Ithaca. I suspect that a Great Horned Owl raided the nest, but it’s hard to say for sure. I feel very sad about this. I have a long history with this nest site, reaching back long before they started nesting here again. Here’s a link to an article I wrote for Audubon a few years ago. https://www.audubon.org/news/peregrine-falcons-finally-return-nest-their-most-famous-us-eyrie
