New Hampshire

A New Hampshire falcon has been identified in the Cleveland area. She is banded black/green X/2, and was born in 2004. This is apparently the first sighting of her since that time.

More information and photos here:

I found someone at the nest today too (or where the nest used to be). I hope this does not turn out to be another Rochester/Alcoa situation.

This is the male, looking for his nest:

I am not sure exactly when this cam was installed. I just came across it, and it is live. Raptor Resource installed a nest box at this site.

No-one home at the moment, but I think this cliff nest site could be very interesting.

Thanks Alison....I had actually heard that RRP had installed a cam...but, I had no clue where or what the link was...I think Mick told me...and then I totally forgot...So, thanks for finding it and posting the link!!!

edit: OMG....its got sound!!!

Yea, another winter and next year cam we can watch!!
Thank very much to Jonathon Howe, a member of Boy Scout Troop 479 in Eden Prairie, MN. He needed a project to advance to Eagle rank and was interested in working with falcons. Jonathon and his father designed and built four special nestboxes with lids that flip up and cover the box. These boxes have two wonderful features: they are accessible from the top, which means we don't have to lean over a roof to get the babies and (when open) they keep young falcons from jumping out. Human banders and young falcons are safer as a result.

Thank you to Alison and Mick for the cam find!!
Sound :)
