  • Peregrine Falcon Fact Sheet: Downtown Pittsburgh
    Peregrine Falcon Fact Sheet: Downtown Pittsburgh Scientific name: Falco peregrinus Male Female Length 14” – 16” 16” – 18” Wingspread 37” – 39” 40” – 46” Weight 1 – 1.2 lbs. 1.6 – 2.1 lbs. DECLINE AND RECOVERY OF THE PEREGRINE FALCON Peregrine falcons were formerly one of the most widespread birds in the world. Prior to the 1960s, they nested at more than 350 sites east of the Mississippi, including 44 cliff sites in Pennsylvania. Long-lived pesticides such as DDT accumulated in falcon food chains causing "pesticide raptor syndrome." Females laid eggs with thin shells; the eggs broke during incubation. Peregrine populations crashed in much of the world by the 1960s, with no successful nest east of the Mississippi River by 1965. A recovery program was developed by Dr. Thomas Cade at Cornell University in 1970. Young birds were hatched from eggs in captivity and released into the wild. Today wild-born peregrines are given coded leg bands as part of this recovery effort. Peregrine falcons were one of the first species listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1974. They were federally de-listed in 1999 because they recovered in the western U.S. Peregrines are still a Pennsylvania Endangered Species because they have not fully recovered here. The Pennsylvania Game Commission is the official regulatory and management agency for this species In 2003, two peregrine falcon nests were found on cliffs in Pennsylvania, the first time since 1957 that Pennsylvania peregrines nested outside of cities. NEST SITE AT THE GULF TOWER Peregrines were first seen in Pittsburgh in 1990.

    PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION BUREAU OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT RESEARCH DIVISION PROJECT ANNUAL JOB REPORT PROJECT CODE NO.: 06715 TITLE: Peregrine Falcon Research/Management JOB CODE NO.: 71501 TITLE: Peregrine Falcon Investigations PERIOD COVERED: 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 COOPERATING AGENCIES: Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia; Appalachian Audubon Society chapter; Canadian Peregrine Foundation (CPF); Dauphin County Wildlife Rescue; Delaware River Port Authority; Pennsylvania Department of Transportation; New Jersey Division of Fish, Game, and Wildlife; Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP); Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission; Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC); Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. WORK LOCATION(S): Statewide PREPARED BY: F. Arthur McMorris and Daniel W. Brauning DATE: 7 February 2005 Abstract: The long-term management goal of this project is to reestablish a self- sustaining peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) population in Pennsylvania. Temporary employee Matt Sharp and several volunteers monitored peregrine nests across the state. Peregrines successfully nested at 11 sites, in Pennsylvania, and a pair was observed through the season at a twelfth site. Successful nesting at a cliff site was observed for the first time in over 40 years, at a site in Montgomery, Lycoming County. A sub-adult pair was observed at a second cliff site, in Northampton County. Nesting success and statewide productivity were remarkably high in 2003, continuing last year’s upward trend. Eight band recoveries were obtained during the past year involving birds banded in Pennsylvania. All 4 birds fitted for satellite telemetry in 2002 continued to survive and transmitters were functioning as of 30 June. One additional nestling was fitted with a satellite transmitter in 2003 but that bird was found dead in December 2003.
