Aplomado Falcons and New Mexico
Loading...
Uploaded by isiriu on Jul 20, 2011
Photo documentary slideshow set to music of the first few weeks of work as a Hack Site Attendant.
This is the corrected version. The other two postings have been deleted.
The first group of photos follows the first group of birds released, followed by so other creatures in NM. Then it moves in to group two's birds, and concludes with some sky photos. I would have liked to have them all organized by birds, critters, sky etc. but moving subtitles around was becoming quite the tedious task. I also liked the separation of the two groups of falcons, though now both groups interact with one another.
Music is "Creature Feature" by Leo Kottke, from the album "That's What"
Video was saved in HD quality for best enjoyment of the photos. Some of the blurrier ones [or ones with vignetting] were 'digi-scoped,' but they were included to provide a glimpse into their behaviour.
Comments and critiques are welcome.

Additional Information:
The Aplomado Falcon is the only falcon remaining on the Endangered Species List in the United States. It has an extensive range, from the southern US down through Argentina, where the nominate subspecies is found. The birds released at this site are the Northern Aplomado Falcon, Falco femoralis septentrionalis.
Aplomados can be identified by their lead-coloured back, white edges to their secondaries, orange legs, and black belly band. As juveniles, the birds show a buffy orange colour and blackish streaks on their chest. As they mature, the orange fades, with second year birds still showing some streaking. Adults have a snowy white breast and white eyestripe which often fades to orange in the back.
Female Aplomado Falcons are about the size of male Peregrine Falcons when it comes to dimension, but are half the weight. Male Aplomado Falcons are about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of their female counterparts, making them a bit bigger than a Merlin.
