Falcons in Oshkosh

In 2011 a nest box was put up on the campus in Oshkosh and it gained a pair of peregrine falcons. they hatched out two young and below is the photo essay of their story.
This site was live on the internet, check in spring of 2012 for perhaps a repeat of the nesting.

The closest we can figure out is that the storm that hit Oshkosh on the morn of July 11th, probably threw the kid off the ledge in the dark. We will probably never really know.
