We are in need of funding to add cameras and audio to this project. This year was amazing but we know it can be greatly improved with additional camera angles and audio of these wonderful falcons.

Utica has been so fortunate to have a resident pair of Peregrine Falcons for the past 6 years. The first pair was unsuccessful in their nesting attempts, however this year is the first year the current nesting adults have successfully raised 3 young. This family made history this year by having the first successful brood in Oneida County since the demise of the Peregrines due to DDT “poisoning” in the 1960's.

We need to continue to help these still endangered birds to recover from the years of devastation they have experienced.

Peregrines have only a 60% survival rate in the wild. By assisting them with manmade nest boxes such as the one we have, we increase their chances of survival.

Check out our website www.uticaperegrinefalcons.com and our FB page Falcon Watch Utica for more information and videos and pictures of this beautiful family.
