Unless you can see both peregrines having the conversation, don’t assume you know what ee-chup means. It takes a lot of practice, listening and watching from the ground, to be able to tell whether an ee-chup means “Hello, my love” or something else. The new peregrine may be an intruder or a potential mate. They say it softly to their mates during ledge displays and more loudly when a new peregrine shows up.
