R.I.P. Douglas
This morning, Joel Jorgensen from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission received a call from James Thiele, who is with the USDA – Wildlife Services, reporting a deceased falcon had been found in downtown Omaha. The falcon was Douglas, purple band 1126 14499 and black/red bands 09/R, one of the male Peregrine Falcons hatched this year from atop the Woodmen Tower. He was found on a sidewalk along Douglas Street a couple blocks from Woodmen of the World. The bird's wing was broken and it appeared death may have resulted from a collision, possibly with a building window.
As you probably have noticed the falcon chicks have moved out of camera range. The remaining four, two females (Cass and Harney), and the two males (Farnam and Dodge), are still around learning how to hunt from their mother and father. If you are ever out walking near the Woodmen Tower, you could get lucky and hear one of the chicks call for their parent, or even see one in flight.  |

 Amora at Harlequin. Yes, all have been seen Margaret.  Amora's first flight! By Ann  Did she eventually take off from there? Thank you Donna, and Ann for the great picture. I hope she took off from there; it is kind of low. I'll say it's low! That awning is just above the back door to Harlequin. I hope nobody messes with her if she is still there after the building shuts down for the day. Ya never know what kind of nutjobs are out there. That may be too low for her to take off from too so perhaps Mark or someone from CPF can take her to a higher place.  |
