2011 Raptor Intern Delora Hilleary scans the Precipice for peregrine falcons
During the peregrine falcon nesting season each summer (from early June through mid-August in most years), Acadia's Raptor Intern writes a weekly Peregrine Watch update called View from the Aerie. The updates written by the 2011 Raptor Intern, Delora Hilleary, about her observations of the park's peregrine falcons are available at the link below.
In 2011, unfortunately the peregrines of Acadia failed to produce chicks at any of their nesting sites, so the Peregrine Watch program has ended for this year as of early July. Read on to learn more about what happened this spring at the Precipice, review the events of previous years (click links to archive below) follow Delora's upcoming Hawk Watch Update reports from August through October, and be sure check back next year for more peregrine reports from the 2012 raptor intern.
