A 4-week-old peregrine chick on Mount Erie eyes a camera Tuesday that was operated by a member of the Bow-based Falcon Research Group.

This sole survivor of three known to have been hatched this spring could take its first flight around July 7, state wildlife biologists say.

However, it will remain near the nesting ledge for four to six weeks. The city asks climbers and hikers to continue to avoid the Cirque, Orange Wall, Madrone Wall and the scramble trail known as the Cirque trail.
