> Hello,
> I am a wildlife biologist with the Dept of Fish and Wildlife in Region 5,
> SW WA. As you folks are well aware, the peregrine falcon was recently
> removed from the endangered species list. The falcon is still, however, a
> state listed species. With the Federal de-listing, it is imperative that
> monitoring continue with the same vigor that was previous to the
> de-listing. Although we have seen an increase in the number of occupied
> territories in WA, we have also seen a decrease in the overall productivity
> per pair. Thus, it is critical for us to maintain the number of occupied
> sites.
>
> I am looking for some help monitoring a couple of sites in Lewis County.
> These were hacking sites in the mid 90's. We have had pairs successfully
> rear young at these sites, but not for the past 2 years. I will be able to
> reimburse volunteers for their mileage and have some money for meals.
> These sites need to be monitored beginning in late March-early April.

> If you have any folks who might be interested in volunteering, please get
