Re: [cayugabirds-l] Taughannock peregrine nest location

[Dave Nutter]

Hi Pete (& all), 

For the past 2 years the presence of Peregrines at Taughannock (returned after 
decades of absence) has only been publicized after fledging, and the nest 
location has not been publicized. This limits harassment by people trying to 
see or photograph them. Some folks try to get extra close to birds without 
gauging the birds’ discomfort, and a nest is a very vulnerable place. 
Photographers particularly value being as close as possible, and I have met 
amateurs who have scared off other rare birds locally. For instance a worker at 
Treman Marina deliberately flushed a Snowy Owl in order to obtain a cell-phone 
picture of it in flight, and the bird did not return. Maybe it’s better for 
people to use telescopes and to watch the Peregrines after the birds are able 
to keep their own comfortable distance. There are many ledges and snags for the 
birds to use, and they can be seen flying as well.
