Peregrine Falcon Temporary Climbing Closures Lifted

All temporary climbing closures protecting nesting Peregrine Falcons were lifted on July 15, 2014. Now that the breeding season is over, we thank the climbing community for helping the peregrines to have another successful season. This year, biologists monitored 13 breeding pairs and observed 25 juveniles. Next year, temporary climbing closures will be in effect again from March 1 to July 15.
