This note arrived from Steven Living:
"We have recently seen falcons on some of the favorite perches in the downtown area - so it seems that our pair is still in the vicinity. Hard to say what the future holds for the young - the first year of life is tough. It is unlikely that they will remain in the immediate area but they may stay within the region as a whole. We have had banded birds from this nest found breeding in both Maryland and Pennsylvania"Stephen Living

This last breeding season was a great success after a bumpy start. All three hatchlings fledged the nest successfully. ATR would like to thank Stephen, the VGIF and all involved who helped bridge the gap between city and wilderness. To us these birds are a symbol for the city and something we should take pride in. We look forward to another successful nest this coming spring.
The VGIF maintains several wildlife cams, including an Eagle Cam, Shad Cam, and our very own Falcon Cam. The Falcon Cam is still on and you can read all the blog entries going back two years. It makes quite a story and there are lots of great pictures. If you have any pictures, sightings or falcon stories you would like to share, send them to allthingsrichmond@live.com.
