Title: After all these years, I should have known this Post by: Dumpsterkitty on 05-Sep-10, 01:01:33 PM Doing some research for a project...went into my research files & found this (http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/magazine/transcripts/5-9-2001.1-1.shtml)website. I KNOW I've read the whole thing before. Why did this fact never stick in my head? :-[
Dennis Money: The project was initiated in 1994 when the Rochester Peregrine Falcon Project team bought ten falcons from Bob Anderson, who at that time lived in Minnesota. Later that summer Bob was so excited about the success of the program that he actually gave us two more falcons for free. Since that time, the Rochester falcons have spread their wings and have traveled all over the United States. We currently have falcons from 1994 still producing young in Omaha, Nebraska; Hartford, Connecticut; Cleveland, Ohio; and, of course, now, for the last four years, on top of Eastman Kodak headquarters. The project will continue as long as the birds grace the skies of North America. Dennis Money: The other benefit of banding the birds is that we can identify who the birds are and where they originated from, even when they are still alive, and that's why we know where Cabot-Sirocco came from, where Amelia came from (Hartford, Connecticut), and also that Zeus is one of our males from 1994 in Omaha, Nebraska.

That's why I'm so :-[ I've watched them for years and didn't make the connection! Title: Re: After all these years, I should have known this Post by: Kris G. on 05-Sep-10, 02:40:02 PM OMG!

great hope for those of us in our advancing years |
