Salt Lake City, Utah also is home to a nesting pair for the last few years.
We actually have people patrols that watch the babies so if they fall out of
the nest or fall when they are learning to fly, they can be retrieved and
saved from traffic or other harm.  The city has pretty much adopted them and
so we occasionally hear what's happening to them on the evening news.
