VA Falcons

The Center for Conservation Biology at the College of William and Mary has
launched the VAFALCONS website.  This site attempts to bring together
existing information on the Virginia breeding population of Peregrine
Falcons.  In addition to natural history, management, and monitoring
information, the site hosts the tracking of 18 young falcons (deployment of
transmitters is in progress) from 2002 and Caroline Dare (one of the falcons
from the 2001 cohort).  The FalconTrak portion of the website allows the
user to interact with a tracking database via a dynamic map interface.  It
is our hope that providing this resource will entice the public to become
more involved in the ongoing research, monitoring, and management of this
vulnerable population.

VAFALCONS is accessible on the internet by going to the Center's home page
http://www.ccb-wm.org and clicking on a fastlink to VAFALCONS or by going
