Three immature birds were sighted in July. 116. SP-University of Illinois, Chicago, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Ninth year for this site. Ten-year-old female Rosie b/r *6/D, her ninth year at this site, paired again with an unbanded male. Four eggs were laid by April 12th. Three hatched and banding took place on June 7th, 2007. An infertile egg was retrieved at this time. All three birds fledged without assistance though B/56 was later (7/2) picked up off a UIC roof in a state of paralysis of undetermined cause. The bird was taken to Lincoln Park Zoo for examination and later to Flint Creek. It subsequently died on July 11, 2007. 117. LE-St. Michael’s Old Town neighborhood, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Third year for this site. Last year’s female Kelliwatt (60/D) was present early in the season with the male Hops (58/M). One egg was laid on March 24th that was blood soaked and blood was present where Kelli was observed perching on the building. Kelli was present on March 25th during the early hours but later in the day Ballistic (b/g 69/C) was present. Periodically after that Ballistic and/or Hops were seen on the building but no more eggs were laid. The initial egg was retrieved on April 24th. Later during the nesting season, Ballistic and Hops were observed on the church but no attempt to renest was made. Kelliwatt was found dead on a nearby rooftop in July though she had clearly been dead for some time. 118. LE-Belmont / Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Cook County, llinois.

On November 21 2006 the female was identified as Ballistic b/g 69/C (Cleveland OH 2005). The male was identified only as far as having a b/g band. No reports were given of this pair again until then end of April (2007). Apparently 2 eggs were laid in a gutter and lost during a rainstorm on 4/2/07. Ballistic was reported at the end of March over at St. Michael’s. 119. NB-Lawndale, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.

Mary Hennen reports that two adults were present, Magnolia (bl 22R) here for fourteen years. The male was not identified. As in previous years (2005, 2006) they nested in a gutter.

One unbanded immature was picked up by Animal Control on 6/19/07 but died during the night. The bird was found in the neighborhood that we believe this pair frequents and it was too early for it to be a migrant. No information about the adults] [“River Birds” Various sites near Execu-Stay Marriot / Allerton Hotel / Palmolive Building / 225 West Wacker, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Peregrines reported in the neighborhood of Michigan and Wacker. Two adults sighted in March.
