It is at risk in B.C. due to human disturbance at nesting sites, secondary poisoning from insecticides and loss of foraging habitat in the southern portion of its range. COSEWIC has designated this species as NOT AT RISK in Canada. Ecology The prairie falcon occurs within open treeless habitats such as prairies, deserts and alpine meadows. In B.C, it occurs within the grassland and sagebrush habitats of the south-central interior. In the breeding season, April to August, it is often found near cliffs adjacent to water and open areas. Aeries are located on low cliffs near water. Nests are located on cliff ledges below overhangs that provide Read More Go to Site A Falconer's Memoir Votes:0 --> ?2000 PBS/SDPB.

They have three plummage phases, gray, black and white. With the dark eye, notched beak, and pointed wings typical of falcons the size and color of this bird leave no doubt that as to its identity. Several color variations from white to near black exist but most are classified simply as light or dark phases. Light gyrfalcons may be pure white, or white with black spotting on the crown, back and sides, and black bars on the primaries (longest wing feathers). Dark gyrfalcons may be black,or more commonly an ash-grey with white streaking on the undersides.

True falcons have long pointed wings and long tails and are among the fastest-flying birds in the world. They mainly inhabit open country, and many pursue birds on the wing. The Merlin, Falco columbarius , is the smallest of the European falcons. In America the American Kestrel is smaller. The adult male is about 11 inches long, slate-bluegrey above, with red-brown, heavily streaked underparts and an almost white throat.

Females are larger than the males. The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) is15-21" long and has a wingspan of 36-44". The crown and nape are black; a black wedge extends below the eye, forming a distinctive helmet, which is absent in the smaller Merlin and similar Prairie Falcon. The plumage varies from pale to very dark depending on the bird's location. Intermediate form of the west once ranged the continent. The immature Peregrine is dark brownish above, its underparts are heavily streaked. In flight the absence of contrasting axillaries and wing coverts distinguishes all Peregrines from Prairie Falcons.

The plumage of the peregrine is reflective of the environment in the sense that the coloring serves more of a predatory purpose and not one of display of brilliant or elaborate of color, which reduces the chance of being notice.

Any unauthorized use is prohibited. 2nd Texas Record This Snail Kite ( Rostrhamus sociabilis ) , probably an immature, was present near Bentsen S.P., Hidalgo Co., Texas along a resaca on private property from 17-29 May 1998. Bob Rozinski and Wendy Shattil had access to a private ranch and were photographing water birds at the location. The kite showed up on several occasions and they observed it feed on crayfish. Fortunately, they were able to take several photos of the bird . There is only one previous accepted Texas record of this species from 1977 at Lake Alice. Snail Kites are resident in Mexico within 350 miles of the Texas border; it is likely this individual was from Mexican populations rather than Florida.

DESCRIPTION: Adults characterized by rufous (rust) underparts, a gray back, a long and banded tail, and a distinctive black and white facial pattern. Aplomado falcons are smaller than peregrine falcons and larger than kestrels. HABITAT: Open terrain with scattered trees, relatively low ground cover, abundance of small to medium-sized birds, and a supply of suitable nesting platforms, particularly yucca and mesquite. Suitable habitat consists of inter-tree distances of 30m (avg.), tree densities of 19 trees/40 ha (avg.), tree height of 9 m (avg.), and 92% ground cover at 0.7m off the ground and 70% at 0.5m.

Read More Go to Site The Peregrine Falcon Votes:0 The Peregrine Falcon Why is it endangered? One reason the Peregrine Falcon is considered an endangered species is because of pesticides like DDT. DDT can result in the eggshell thinning, breaking of the egg shell, small amount of hatching ratio, smaller sizes and less breeding. Man is also a factor because nests are being destroyed by cities that keep on expanding. Man also intrudes on breeding sites which causes lower birth ratio. Habitat: There are three places where the Peregrine Falcon lives: 1. The nest areas: you will usually find a Peregrine Falcon's nest on a cliff or around large buildings. 2. It's territory: its territory is the area in which it can protect the nest which also corresponds to number 3. 3. The home range: the home range is the area which it hunts within.

Perhaps this is because Peregrines, the worlds swiftest birds, are endangered in Canada and in many places in the United States. Like the Whooping Crane, the Peregrine Falcon connects people throughout Canada and the United States, but even moreso, in the cause of protecting and reestablishing them. And, uniquely, there are pages to visit that show live viewing of their nesting sites in several North American cities. I also found that there are many centres in Canada and the United States devoted to the recovery of the endangered raptors [birds of prey] including the Peregrine Falcon.
