just a suggestion ... I've been trying to remember the very lengthy Pale Male episode a decade or so ago, when red tail hawks nested on a busy apartment building in New York City and the residents of the building tried to get rid of them because of all the mess of body parts, etc. I think but am not positive that one thing they tried was building a huge shelf that stuck out from under the nest and was intended to catch the worst of the mess. Maybe someone else here remembers more, or you might check out all the things Lincoln tried, to see if anything was successful. Googling Pale Male will surely bring up all the info.

Best of luck with your peregrine problems! I just people could be more accomodating to imperiled wildlife, although I do understand the danger if the falcons are dive-bombing tenants.

This nest is located on Kauai and this year features 2 females, Mahealani and Pilialoha, who have a newly hatched baby named Kalama!
The story on how they received a fertile egg:

What an interesting story! Sure hope the plan works. for posting.

Good grief! Why don't they have the common sense to temporarily block off that window with shades or cardboard so the poor falcon can stop wasting time and energy fighting his reflection!

A lot of energy expended on that window. 

This death total is since 2009, so the mass shootings have been going on now 8 or 9 years. There really does have to be a better way.

Sigh.  There has to be a better way

Thanks, Kris, for the nest box info.

I haven't been following this cam closely but am aware the original female was shot. It's good a new female came along. But that nest tray looks for all the world like a big cat litter box LOL

I did find this nest box info on their site:

The nest is in a fiberglass planter box atop an iron planter ledge under upper story windows of the front our home in NW Oklahoma City. It is one of three planter boxes on the ledge, all of which are approximately 12� deep, by 12� tall, and 24� wide. They are filled with an organic mix of vermiculite, peat moss, and mushroom compost. This mix was chosen both for good growing conditions, as well as a healthy, chemical-free soil for the owls.

Shaky, the KPP label, your photo, and the "Talon Lickin' Good" made my day! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Cool pics of one juvie (probably Vim), two kestrels and some Australian flora at http://www.gumtreecs.com.au/wordpress/pere-juveniles-1-kestrels-2/.

What a nice website! Their header graphic is almost as good as ours.

I suspect you're already aware of this. Yfalconcam doesn't have any either.

It was a great and wonderful surprise to see Kendal looking so healthy and handsome. But I always wonder if an adult falcon who has tasted the freedom of the skies and has raised a family misses his natural life in the wild. Nobody can answer that, I know, so with great hope I wish Kendal the very best as an education bird.

[Happy birthday!]
