As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

6 endangered falcons raised in Idaho released in Texas

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- Six endangered falcons have been released in South Texas in an effort to help save the species.


The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports the young aplomado falcons on Tuesday settled in at Mustang Island.

Biologist Brian Mutch with The Peregrine Fund placed the month-old raptors into their nest on a hack site on the island near Corpus Christi. Mutch says the falcons are just about ready to fledge. The birds will be closely monitored as they learn to adapt to their environment.
