Seeing just a bit of what goes on behind the scenes makes me appreciate everything all the techno people do to let us see these marvelous birds - thank you to all of those in Rochester who keep things running so smoothly. It's so good that we have come to take it for granted... Amazing!

5 August

We are sorry to report that one of the young Peregrine Falcons (female, green band) that fledged six weeks ago in downtown Boise was injured so badly on Thursday that she had to be euthanized. A maintenance worker discovered the injured bird on the roof of the Wells Fargo building, which is in the block next to One Capital Center where the nest box is located. Bill Heinrich of The Peregrine Fund retrieved her from the roof and saw that she had at least one broken leg. The young falcon was taken to a local veterinarian who discovered that both legs were broken. The radiograph shows just how extensive the injuries were. Evidently, she had collided with something, perhaps a powerline or a building. The experts determined that her injuries could not be repaired and she had no chance to survive on her own.

This loss is evidence that the first year in the life of a young bird of prey is extremely hazardous. In fact, more than half of fledglings do not survive their first year. Collisions, predators, weather and many other factors present tough challenges for young birds. We hope that the other three youngsters from this year’s breeding season will continue to do well.

The Boise pair have three new chicks today; one egg has not yet hatched.
