Watershed Moment for Watershed Groups?
Watershed groups want to generate more interest in areas that support wildlife, like this wetland pond on Jacobs Creek in Mt. Pleasant. But getting the word out isn't easy. For the story on WYEP-fm, visit http://www.alleghenyfront.org/story.html?storyid=201007121700230.538422

Peregrine Banding
The National Aviary's Todd Katzner and a Pennsylvania Game Commission wildlife conservation officer capture a peregrine falcon from a window ledge on the 40th floor of the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning last spring. Chicks in the peregrine's nest were given a medical exam and banded. The birds are monitored 24/7 during the spring until they leave the nest. It is part of a state-federal effort to reestablish peregrines to Pennsylvania. Efforts are being made to repopulate the cliffs of Central Pennsylvania with these birds of prey, as well. For Deborah's story on this, visit www.alleghenyfront.org
