Apparently it was a rare sighting in NY of a BB hitching a ride on a BE (but something we can see all the time at Decorah  :) )

Going "over the edge" to help facilitate the comeback of peregrine falcons in the Mississippi River Valley

https://www.waukonstandard.com/articles/2020/07/15/going-%E2%80%9Cover-edge%E2%80%9D-help-facilitate-comeback-peregrine-falcons-mississippi-river


Rappelling the bluff ... Amy Ries of the Raptor Resource Project starts her rappelling descent through the brush from a blufftop overlooking the Mississippi River valley in northeast Iowa. Ries says she is thankful for the landowners who so generously allow them access to the bluffs on their properties. Photo by Scott Boylen.


Making his descent ... The crew that rappelled and banded peregrine falcons this spring included Raptor Resource Project Director John Howe, David Kester, Amy Ries, Sophia Landis and Mark Webber. Other volunteers included Bill Smith, Jon Stravers and Maggie Jones. Pictured above is David Kester as he prepares to go over the bluff in hope of retrieving the young peregrine falcons to be banded for the project. Photo by Scott Boylen.
