SOUTH BEND — More bad news about this year's local peregrine falcon population.

A chick from this year's brood of four birds was found dead on a rooftop Sunday, according to local raptor volunteer Carole Riewe.

This was the second female chick to die. Another female bird was found dead in late June, possibly from frounce, an infection of the digestive tract.
