By mid May, southwestern Pennsylvania’s peregrines have chicks that are growing by leaps and bounds.
This year we don’t have as many known active nests due to lack of observers and lack of reports on eBird, so I’ve reduced the peregrine map to six active sites though we have no recent reports on two of them: Monaca and Westinghouse. I am hopeful.
Site List and latest activity. There are probably more than the four sites. (Yellow = active nest in 2026, including one failed nest. Boldface dates are May 2026.) Maybe the solo peregrines reported at West End Bridge/North Shore area and Sharpsburg Marina are nesting somewhere. Observers needed!
Map legend: Dark blue=bridge sites, Red=building sites, Pale blue=no success as of May 2026…
