Some Adirondack cliff climbing routes have to be closed for several months in the summer when they are too close to an active peregrine nest. Wooden nest boxes filled with gravel are placed at many of the sites to increase productivity.
Falcons do not build stick nests like most hawks and the eggs can roll off bridge girders or get broken on window ledges. For example, necessary bridge maintenance work must be conducted in a manner that does not prevent the falcons from nesting successfully. Many of these sites need annual management to protect the birds during the nesting season.
There are about twenty pairs present in the Adirondacks on cliffs. Peregrines currently nest on buildings or bridges in Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, and Buffalo. Peregrines nest on every Hudson River bridge south of Albany. New York City may now have the largest urban population of peregrine falcons anywhere. By 2003 there were close to 50 pairs statewide. The population has grown steadily since that time: Two years later they were again nesting in the Adirondacks. Peregrines first returned to nest on two bridges in New York City in 1983. The release of young captive bred birds from 1974-1988 helped lead to their return as a nesting species. They were eliminated as a nesting species in the state by the early 1960s, due mainly to pesticide (DDE) residues in their prey. Peregrine falcons are listed as an endangered species in New York State. Peregrine falcons are birds of few words they are generally silent but sometimes make a rasping kack-kack-kack-kack sound in the nest.Take.
