Cedar Rapids peregrine project reclaims urban nesting with hacking program
The Raptor Resource Project details monitoring and hacking efforts begun in Cedar Rapids to recover peregrine falcons. Chicks were raised in a hacking box atop the U.S. Bank Building, with 10 birds released and eight surviving their first year. Survival rates improve after initial years, and banding and health checks accompanied ongoing observation by Iowa DNA staff.
