Idaho Fish and Game News is Now Available

The May issue of Idaho Fish and Game News is now available. This issue covers Fish and Game's new rules for the capture of peregrine falcons for use in falconry - the first time in 40 years that Idaho falconers have been allowed to capture wild peregrine falcons. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission earlier this year approved rules for capturing wild peregrines. The rules allow two falconers to capture one juvenile or nestling. The peregrine recovery effort began in the early 1970s with the formation of the Peregrine Fund, which since joined with the World Center for Birds of Prey and moved to Boise in the 1980s. The effort includes man-made nesting boxes in Nampa and downtown Boise. This issue includes some peregrine life history facts and a link to the webcam in the peregrine nest box in downtown Boise: http://www.peregrinefund.org/webcam-peregrine. Fish and Game News is free and available at license vendors and Fish and Game offices statewide and online at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/media/?getPage=246.
