Re: [cayugabirds-l] PEREGRINE FALCON

[Diane Morton]

How wonderful to see a Peregrine so close!

Yes, Peregrine Falcons returned to the Taughannock Falls area in the past
couple of years. You may be interested in an upcoming presentation, *The
Peregrines of Taughannock Gorge,* that Tim Gallagher, former
editor-in-chief of Living Bird magazine, will be giving on Monday,
April 11, 7:30 pm, for the Cayuga Bird Club (via Zoom).

Short description:

After a 74-year absence, Peregrine Falcons finally returned to nest at
Taughannock Gorge in 2020. The gorge is arguably the most famous falcon
nest site in the world, thanks to a famous picture taken by Cornell
ornithologist Arthur Allen in the 1920s.


Tim Gallagher will present the entire saga of the Taughannock Peregrines
from their discovery by world-famous-bird-artist (and former Cayuga Bird
Club President) Louis Agassiz Fuertes in 1909; the factors that led to the
abandonment of the eyrie in 1946; Professor Tom Cade’s failed effort to
reintroduce captive-bred peregrines there in the 1970s; and their
triumphant return in 2020.


This presentation is free and open to the public. To register and for more

[cayugabirds-l] PEREGRINE FALCON

[Annette Nadeau]

I'm astounded that I just had a male PEREGRINE FALCON perched in a small
tree directly across the road from me! I watched it for several minutes as
it sat quietly. I was able to see it perfectly through my living room
window.
I've seen many of these birds up close as I used to help feed them when the
hawk barn was across the road from the old Lab of O building.
Before I wrote this message I checked my field guide to be absolutely
certain (even though there wasn't a doubt in my mind).
I live about six miles from Taughannock and am wondering if it could be
from that area. What a thrilling addition to my yard list!!!
