Peregrine Falcons Delay USS Saratoga Departure
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Jul 18, 2014, 12:48 PM ET
By JENNIFER McDERMOTT Associated Press

The Navy is ready to say goodbye to the USS Saratoga, but a family of peregrine falcons is not.

The falcons are nesting on board the decommissioned aircraft carrier in Newport, Rhode Island. The Navy has delayed the Saratoga's final trip to Texas, where it will be dismantled, until the fledglings are ready to leave......

Here are some great photographs and an even better story from Providence Raptors and Peter Green photography of the USS Saratoga peregrine falcon family. http://www.providenceraptors.com/2013/0 ... t-carrier/ by David Edward Gates

Peregrine falcons hanging around New Holland water tower.

By P.J. REILLY | Staff Writer
A juvenile peregrine falcon, a bird rarely spotted in Lancaster County, has been seen hanging out on a water tower in New Holland in recent weeks.
Dan Mummert, a wildlife diversity biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, photographed the bird July 29, as it perched on a ring around the tower at South Hoover and Diller avenues.
"I watched it for about an hour," Mummert said. "It was preening the whole time. The most exciting thing I saw it do was lift its leg to scratch its head, but that showed me that it did not have a leg band, which was important information for me to have.".....

This is the water tower in New Holland where a falcon has been spotted recently.

Is there a page for the NYC Central Park West peregrine falcons? In any case, here is the link to a petition to save the falcon scrape.
