C & C just filled in the "blanks" about Chessie's death...From their FB page: :girlsad3:

    As anticipated, Chesapeake has reached the end. Her body was recovered in Akron after a witness saw her engaged in an aerial fight and then being overtaken on the ground by a red-tailed hawk. Thanks to DOW's Laurie for letting us know about Chesapeake's death personally and posting it to this page. RIP to a phenomenal peregrine!


I know these are all reliable people but too many empty blanks for me. and I am wondering why this witness did not engage . I guess I am the only nut out there

when I read back , some say it was the intruder female chasing a hawk so did this witness know who was who

sorry, just too many questions for me but I will say this

Chesapeake was a great falcon , lived well and died as a falcon, and not at the hands of man or man made object. We cannot ask more of her. Fly high chesapeake, look over your all your youngsters.

RE Chesapeak:
If the report of the area that this took place is accurate, (three different roads have been mentioned) then Chessie was near the Goodyear Blimp Hanger/Akron Airport.
That is THREE miles "as the crow flies" away from downtown. In the pic, the red lines distinguish the two "roads" mentioned in reports.... one line from downtown Akron to Virginia rd/avenue, and one from downtown Akron to Arlington rd. If I use Wilibeth road, it is half a block below Virginia Ave, in the pic.

just sad , that no one intervened when she was seen on ground.

but hopefully she had already succumbed when red tail came on scene.

I am going to think happy thoughts about her now, as she should be honored for who she was.

Just finished watching it, she sure was a terror when she had to be.
Then there was that sweet motherly love when she was with those little ones.
A true Falcon thru & thru.
RIP sweet Lady

I know that one day my dear favorites will not return or loose their sites after returning. I also chose to remember the great moments. great Photos and video. :holthumbup:

when you watch beyond the nest you see so much, and Peter and I also feel blessed also to have witnessed all we have at our sites. One always knows that some day things will change but still , when it happens , your heart is heavy. fly Free Chesapeake. you will live on in your offspring.
