Migration Studies of Peregrines

The longest running peregrine falcon migration studies have been done by a group of falconers.
Here is their website:
www.earthspan.org

I just spoke with Bill Seegar, Ph.D. He is one of the group who just finished their 40th year of migration studies of peregrines. We were both agreeing as to how anyone involved in the peregrine recovery program were falconers at some time in their lives. I sort of say, once a falconer, always falconer, whether currently practicing or not.

Nest Boxes for raptors

The Florida Wildlife Federation is selling Cypress nest boxes for birds. From small wren and bluebird size to kestrel, and barred owls sized birds. The cypress is the BEST wood to use. It is extremely durable and bug proof. The Florida Wildlife Federation is one of the oldest wildlife stewardship and conservation organizations in the United States. They are pro-hunting and sustained use (including supporting the take of passage peregrines in Florida). www.floridawildlifefederation.org
