Observation details
Known nesting pair in Solitude Canyon. One bird (? female) was on the nest, then took off out of sight. There was at least a second Peregrine (her mate?), and a third raptor, possibly another Peregrine, or a Prairie Falcon. Unable to ID. They were chasing one another, I assume, before she returned to the nest after a few minutes. I observed this with two other hikers, and we did not enter the side canyon where the nest is located, stopped on the main trail.
