Right! So many things yet to be put into law and see that the laws are adhered to...from oil spills in Kalamazoo MI (where I went to business school,) to Prairie River here in Grand Rapids to all over...in place of DDT is Mosanto's Round UP, etc., etc.
Thank you for the heart you put into this and all your blog entries from your personal experience, and thank you for crediting Chan, Rachel, and Joe. And an additional peregrine recovery nod to Derek Ratcliffe, Richard Fyfe, and Tom Cade, but thanks for pointing out that it was Dr. Hickey, and not Dr. Cade, who first sounded the alarm. I have the distinct pleasure and honor of being included in the Pennsylvania Peregrine Falcon Recovery Monitoring Survey assuring the species' Recovery in the state is solid until it is common again and a monitoring program is deemed unnecessary like it was yesterday in Michigan (yeah!). A vanguard of conservation success here in the United States along with the Bald Eagle and Osprey, some diurnal raptors formerly Audubon Blue Listed have recovered such as Red-shouldered Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk, and Cooper's Hawk from former declines, but much has to be done to keep, as Rosalie Edge, founder of Hawk Mountain, said, to keep common birds here while they are still common. Indeed, North American raptors have increased by 200%, something to celebrate at Hawk Mountain's 75th anniversary. But, according to the State of the World's Raptors report by Birdlife International and The Peregrine Fund in 2018, Dr. Stuart Butchard leading author, 52% of the World's Raptors are in decline, with 28% disappearing. New threats are plastics, pollution and ecological degradation, overpopulation and climate change, habitat destruction, and collisions. The peregrine recovery was confined to coastal areas, now it's inland, and some birds are taking to cliffs at Eagle Cliffs in New Hampshire, Taughannock Gorge near Ithaca where Cornell Lab of Ornithology founder Arthur A. Allen first photographed them for the fronticpiece his famous book, and they have nested on another cliff spot I know of which unfortunately can't be disclosed, but it's encouraging for some cliff spots such as perhaps the once popular Hudson River Palisades in New York City if not too built up. The new anatum peregrines were proposed to be called cade-i, without the hyphen (spell check will not allow me to spell out the word without a hyphen), but it should be referred to as hickey-i or hick-i-i if renamed.
