Orion 77T nested here for the sixth year on a decorative ledge with no nest box or gravel
tray. They fledged one female young.
77. SP-96 th Street and Skyway Bridge, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. New Site
(although exact location not known). Chicago Animal Control picked up a newly fledged
male peregrine here that was rehabbed and released elsewhere because the exact location
of its nest was not known.
78. LE-5821 Broadway, Irving Park, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Mary
Hennen reports that female Eleanor 2/8, now nine years old, paired for the ninth year
with twelve-year-old male Franklin 95T, laid eggs but failed to hatch them.
79. LE-Pilson Park, Throop Street, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. New Site.
Mary Hennen reports that two young were hatched. At banding, one was removed for
treatment of a leg injury caused by entanglement with twine; this bird died in rehab. The
other young was banded but died in the nest before fledging. Both adults are banded b/g;
one is L/?.
80. NB-Lakeview, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. This site was omitted from
last year’s report, but in fact nesting took place and young hatched but did not fledge.
Mary Hennen reports that a pair was present here this year but there was no confirmation
of nesting, despite regular observations. The adults have not been identified.
[First United Methodist Church, Evanston, Cook County, Illinois. Mary Hennen
says that after three years of nesting here, this site was not used in 2002. The nest here in
2001 failed, perhaps encouraging desertion of the site. The female here in 2001, Zoom
*4/H, nested this year at Uptown Theatre, pair 72.]

81. SP-One Summit Center, Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana. Eight-year-old
female Freedom U/*8, seventh year nesting at this site, paired again with seven-year-old
male Roosevelt R/*4, his sixth year here. They produced four eggs by about March 23,
hatched two April 24 and 25, and fledged two young, probably males, in early June,
according to John Castrale, Indiana DNR, John Winebrenner, and John Meyer. Adults
and both young were chasing prey on July 8.
82. SP-Market Tower, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. John Castrale
reports that nine-year-old male Kinney 7/*3 paired with a new female, tentatively
identified as four-year-old Chantal *B/*C, fledged in 1998 at Froedtert Malt, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Female Scout 28W nested here for eight years and was present in February
and half of March, but was replaced by the new female near the time of egg laying. Four
eggs were laid March 21 to 28, all hatched April 28 to 30, and four young fledged, two
females and two males, June 8 to 10.
83. SP-Cline Avenue at Lake Michigan, East Chicago, Lake County, Indiana.
This site has produced 35 young peregrines in 14 years. This year, a new female b/r
*U/3, origin not yet tracked down, replaced Laurie E/*H and paired with ten-year-old
male Marty 53Z, his ninth year at this site. Joy Bower saw a pair near the highway
