Friday was banding day for the young peregrines (eyases) in the nesting box atop the Superman Building. This is a full-contact sport for the experts from the Audubon Society of Rhode Island (ASRI) and they always include urban wildlife photographer Peter Green of Providence Raptors. The peregrine parents do not enjoy this process and respond …
He wasn’t a birder. He didn’t own a fancy camera. But when this graphic designer moved into the sixth floor of a downtown loft and began witnessing the life-and-death dramas happening daily outside his window, he was soon hooked, and an urban wildlife photographer was born. I met with Peter Green last week for an …
Urban wildlife photographer Peter Green of Providence Raptors is a favorite here at The Dose. For several years he has allowed us to use his gorgeous images, usually involving the peregrine falcon nesting box but not always: Remember the Cooper’s hawk that ruled the Arcade roost for a few days in January? The snowy owl? …
And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. The peregrine falcon cam, hosted by the Audubon Society of Rhode Island (ASRI), has been turned on to reveal a nice fresh box with some sort of litter on the bottom. We will all be needing more things to stare at in the coming weeks, and this brings …
A Cooper’s hawk recently found its way into the Arcade downtown. Nobody saw it fly in, but at least one business owner knew exactly who to call: Peter Green of Providence Raptors. I happened to stop by last week to visit Christine, owner of Carmen & Ginger, and she told me all about it. At …
I never get tired of this. So it looks like just the two nestlings this year — but look how they’ve grown! Let’s face it, twins must get more food, and sooner, than when the poor pigeon has to be divided four+ ways. And as it happens, urban wildlife photographer Peter Green of Providence Raptors …

And then there were three. This was the scene this morning. The picture below was taken yesterday. You can see that the more mature of the siblings still have downy white tufts sticking out, but they have started flapping out of the box. Sometimes they are out of camera range — investigating the rooftop at …
(6.4) This is not a picture by urban wildlife photographer Peter Green of Providence Raptors. His pictures are way better. This is just another one of my screen grabs taken a few moments ago, following a truly gnarly feeding, but it seems important to remind people how quickly things progress at this stage. The nestlings …
And just a stone’s throw from downtown Providence. A few years ago urban wildlife photographer Peter Green (Providence Raptors) got a tip that a pair of bald eagles was building a nest nearby, but he found it occupied by red-tailed hawks at the time. Then this March he trailed a bald eagle in flight back …
The Providence Peregrine Webcam is up and running. Every spring the Rhode Island Audubon Society sets up the nesting box, and its live feed, atop the Superman Building (111 Westminster Street) in downtown Providence. The latest news is posted at the website. Yesterday’s report “Peregrines were seen mating this afternoon… eggs on the way!” Urban …
