PROVIDENCE – A needed boost in a terrible week: the Audubon Society of Rhode Island announced that the peregrine falcons have returned to their nesting box atop the Industrial Trust Building downtown.

The peregrines have nested on the so-called “Superman” building for years, and this mated pair are the same un-banded birds that were there last year.

The camera that provides a live stream of their activities is back on.

Look for signs of eggs soon.
