Our Peregrine Falcon work continues!

Yesterday we worked with NC Wildlife Resource Commission to install game cams on a peregrine eyrie. These cameras have helped biologists infer reasons for nest success and failure over the last six years. They have also produced many incredible photos of peregrines in action. We look forward to this year’s fuzzy family portraits! This work is conducted prior to the nesting season so that we do not disturb the a nesting pair. Big thanks to CCC Board Rep Tom Caldwell for his great lead of a 150’ 5.11+R in order to access the ledge. CCC Executive Director Mike then got to crawl through the peregrine feeding room and bathroom to reinstall the cameras. Also big thanks to the National Forests of North Carolina and National Forest Foundation for supporting this great conservation work. @clemsonscooby @nationalforests @ncwildlife
