The story just tears my heart out. What was that building doing there anyway? What was San Jose doing there?

I can picture the two crows from the glass cleaner commercial laughing.

I believe that those birds are Magpies. But it is a good commercial.
Hawks, falcons and raptors are great birds.
I wish our leaders were as good hunters and killers as hawks, raptors and falcons. (and excuse my poor bird terminology please).

Are peregrine falcons an endangered species? Threatened?
If either of those apply, suit should be filed immediately to remove that wildlife threat ..lo mas pronto posible...

I think they are still on the endangered list.. right up there with the california taxpayer and the california gas pumper.. altho the peregrine as a species is doing much better in recent years compared to the other two. -)

Yes, those were magpies in that commercial. But back to falcons: I enjoy watching peregrines. They’re the consummate killing machine, and all the other birds know it. I once watched one come from way on high to knock a ring-billed gull out of the sky. It tried to outmaneuver the falcon, but it was pretty much hopeless.
And as for the falcon death, it probably struck a window. It happens all the time, but there’s not a thing we can do about it. I hope the other two chicks survive though.

“In fact, her sister and brother, respectively, are flying about, and expected to leave the nest - literally - sometime this summer.”
oh, im glad they made that distinction. for a second i thought they were only going to leave the nest figuratively.
To: steel_resolve
A peregrine falcon named Cielo..What??
It's a damn wild bird, for chrissake!
It doesn't have a name, and if these bleeding heart environmentalists are so upset with our intrusion on the planet what the f#$k are they doing imposing a label on wild bird?
Surely this is a violation of the bird's natural rights!

Building crime. Buildings kill, we need to outlaw all buildings.

LOL! I do it too. The wife and I have a remote desert getaway, where a loggerhead shrike has taken up residence for the last three years. We call him “Loggie.” Just had a brood of chicks, and one fledgling now hangs around. We call him “Son of Loggie.”
Yeah, I know... pathetic.
