Mama Peregrine Dive Bombs Banders
As most of you may know,
the World Bird Sanctuary, in conjunction with Ameren Missouri and the Missouri
Department of Conservation, has monitored a Peregrine Falcon nest box from first
egg laid to fledging of the young birds.
Securely located 168 ft.
above the ground on the Ameren Missouri Sioux Energy Center scrubber stack, the
nest box was constructed with a design from the World Bird Sanctuary. Personnel at the Ameren Missouri
facility operated and maintained a live view camera that allowed viewers to
watch the fascinating behaviors of these amazing birds.
Our Falcon family has now
set flight. The live camera stream was viewed more than 80,000 times and peaked
at nearly 2,000 views per day in early April and May when the eggs were laid
and the chicks hatched.
One of the behaviors you did
not see on the live view camera was the behavior of the parents when we banded
the babies. Staff member Trina
Whitener captured that behavior for us and it may be viewed Here. If you have a problem viewing the
video by clicking on the link, just copy and paste the following link into your

VIDEO SPOTLIGHT – JUNIOR
From time to time World
Bird Sanctuary staff member, Trina Whitener, creates and posts a video
spotlight of one of our animals and posts it to You Tube. We thought our blog
followers might enjoy seeing some of our animals in action.
This month’s featured bird
is Junior, one of our elder statesmen.
Junior was hatched in 1986 and came to us in a most unusual way. To see and hear Junior’s story Click Here.
The next time you visit
the World Bird Sanctuary be sure to look for Junior in the raptor display area
just beyond the Kathryn G. Favre Wildlife Hospital.
