Falcon Nesting 2008
 
 
  • 2007-12-16 A falcon pair was photographed in Page County outside of Luray about a mile from Stony Man Mountain. Both the male and female were banded. This suggests that the banded male from the last two years may be courting a new female.
  • 2007-11-14 The male and the female adult were seen at the cliff site exhibiting pair bond behavior and nest defense.
  • 2008-Spring No nest activity was seen durring the Spring or Summer at the Stony Man Mountain nest sites.
