So posting this news is not easy , my heart is SO heavy for Viper's kids, not to mention going to miss her dearly. here is the information so far from my contact at our Michigan DNR ...
Dina:10a
Bad news. I just collected Viper's carcass. It was on Moores River Drive between northbound and southbound MLK. I'll be dropping her off at the lab later today for necropsy. Keep your eyes out for a new female on site.
Dina:11a
She's basically intact but her feet are bloody. There really isn't a lot of signs of decomposition so I'm guessing this either happened very late yesterday or early today. The report that I got was that she was found on the asphalt and moved onto the grass which also suggests that this was fairly recent. If I had to guess right now, it would be combat with a new female. We'll get a better sense of what happened after the necropsy.
Dina:2p
I just dropped Viper off at the lab. You'll be getting a copy
of the necropsy report when it's done.

OMG...this is just heartbreaking. I am just so, so, sorry...it was so much fun watching them this year...I just pray its anything but another female: car, hawk...anything but another female...we've already seen this play out at several sites this nesting season. Here's hoping that Eckert hangs tough and continues to take care of the kid. We've known of single parents that have been very successful in the past...

Dina, thank you so much for checking in with us and sharing that information...You've been their champion, so this must be doubly hard for you!!!

thank you for your pictures and posts DINA :15heartbeat: and a big hug your way :15heartbeat:

She died too soon , but we cannot always assume another falcon Remember E2 at Pittsburgh. the blood on talons could have been from prey. found on pavement then grass . maybe grazed by car. This has happened far too many times.

She will be missed . It is so hard to lose one, this I know too well. the male will be able to handle feeding and training of the 3 young. just hope there are observers

I have the cam up with mine in case someone comes to box.

Rest in peace :sorrow:

Its a little easier knowing that there isn't another female around (probably) to cause problems for the kids. Still a shame... :tissue:

Midwest Peregrine Society shared Lansing Michigan Peregrine Falcon's post.
1 hr ·
News from Michigan.

Lansing Michigan Peregrine Falcons
September 15 at 12:35pm ·
Lansing update RE Bolt - 2016 fledgling

Email I received…

“I am a biologist at Detroit Metro Airport and this weekend we had a bird strike involving a peregrine falcon with a USGS band on the right leg number 1156-26181 and on the left leg it had a dual colored band with black 11 on top and blue "C" on the bottom. This bird was not killed so I took it to a rehab facility. I thought this may be a bird the DNR was observing so I wanted to let you know”

UPDATE : Bolt is nearing a full recovery, appeared to have an injured eye/swollen right side of face, but sounds like is up and ready to get back out there! Was found on the ground at the airport and when approached didn't flinch, only blinked to show he was alive.

Strike one Bolt. .. stay away from big flying objects! Hopefully he learned a good lesson here!
