http://downtown-mtauburn.fox19.com/news/arts-culture/99482-meet-harrietts-homecoming-author-falcon-during-main-library-storytime

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - Get a bird’s-eye view of the Queen City when author Susan Sachs Levine reads from her book “Harriett’s Homecoming” at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Main Library during storytime.

The book tells the story of a young peregrine falcon named Harriett who is rehabilitated and released from the top of the Carew Tower by a wildlife officer.  Listen to the story of Harriett as she searches for home and visits the many wonderful local sites, including the Cincinnati Museum Center, the Krohn Conservatory, Findlay Market, and even the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s famous “book fountain.”

Joining Ms. Levine will be a peregrine falcon and handler from the nonprofit organization Raptor Inc. The author will be signing books afterwards. The Friends of the Library Shop will be selling a limited number of books at the event.

Ms. Levine grew up in Western Hills, graduating from Oak Hills High School and later Miami University. She started her career in packaged goods marketing with Procter & Gamble and then moved on as VP of Marketing Affairs with SIG, an international packaging company. A wildlife enthusiast, she has traveled extensively to learn and study about endangered species. Now residing in Columbus, she is also the author of the book "Packard Takes Flight: A Bird's Eye View of Columbus, Ohio."

!!! Both adults still on territory!
October 17, 2012 - Toronto - Hearn Power Station

CPF Volunteer Reports:

Oct. 17th - 2012
A quickly update on the Hearn peregrines today. I was able to spend some time at the Hearn power plant today and was again lucky enough to catch both resident adults very active hunting off the large smoke stack today.

With sad news about the original unbanded female who was injured this past summer just before her young fledged. As you may recall, she was rescued of site and taken into rehab in an effort to treat her injuries. Sadly, she eventually had to be euthanized and put down due to the extent of her injuries.

The resident territorial adult male named “Peter” hung in all summer and was successful in caring for his three offspring and although he worked overtime trying to feed both himself and the three fledglings, (in addition to fending off the many intruders that challenged him for the territory), he was successful in raising all of the fledglings by himself.

Peter, (the same resident adult male of two years) is still very much on territory, and as we have documented, and has attracted a new female mid summer time that has stayed on territory with him to this day.

While it appears that the young fledglings have long since dispersed and can no longer be found, (typical at this time of year), both adults are sticking tight to the plant and it would appear that neither are going to migrate or leave the territory this winter.

Snow gets punished! This is a bit graphic for some but Beauty did almost the same to Orion when he wandered off to the wall. Is this normal Falcon behavior?
