Ferruginous Hawks were known as Rusty Squirrel-Hawks back in the 1800′s and they exist in both a light and dark morph. I took a ride up to the Fall River Valley back in October and spotted both morphs in the large grasslands where we also usually see Rough-legged Hawks and Prairie Falcons. This is the light morph.

The hole-nesting population of peregrine falcons disappeared with the felling of the giant trees upon which they depended. According to the literature, Peregrine Falcons and Merlins both nested in tree cavities until the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries when most of the great trees were felled.
