This photo was taken 2 years ago by Chris Martin, the senior biologist at NH Audubon. This is the nestbox (called a scrape) for the Peregrine falcons in Manchester on top of Brady Sullivan Building. I have been very fortunate to have been invited by Chris to participate in the banding of the young Peregrine falcons (called eyases)... it can always be a bit tricky removing the chicks to band them, and then to return them to the nest if Mom gets anxious. In this photo you can see she was rather peeved!
Airedale1-during the summer come out to Poplar Island in Moultonboro Bay and watch the bald eagles as they raise their young. This will be third year for eaglets on Poplar. It's awesome.
