A cliff-hanger of survival for the peregrine falcon

https://www.timesleader.com/sports/706471/a-cliff-hanger-of-survival-for-the-peregrine-falcon


Cliff nests are key to survival of the peregrine falcon because they produce a higher rate of chicks that are recruited into the overall population because they present fewer hazards.  Photo courtesy Ed Norman

Laysan Albatrosses Survived the Feather Trade, Industrial Fishing, and Plastics. What's Next?

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/laysan-albatrosses-survived-the-feather-trade-industrial-fishing-and-plastics-whats-next/




Fishing using longlines can cause thousands of albatross deaths every year. The bright vertical streamers on longline fishing gear, shown here, can help scare birds away. Picture courtesy of Ed Melvin via Sea Grant.


Streamer lines made from orange tubing protect fishing gear and bait from birds. The span of the line and streamers lifted off of the water scares the birds, keeping them away from the baited hooks. Photo courtesy of Ed Melvin via Sea Grant.

Way to go Eagle Nation! You're all awesome. I'm positive this is only a partial list, because some of you didn't check the box to allow SOAR to use your name and/or didn't designate your donation specifically for "groceries." I'm so proud to know all of you wonderful people. Eagle on! 8)
