Falcon fight for territory turns fatal

By Kevin Cole
The folks at the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission who study non-game birds received an educational gift Tuesday in the form of a dead peregrine falcon.
Joel Jorgensen, manager of the non-game bird program, said a caller from First National Tower in Omaha let the agency know that a banded falcon by the name of “Niobrara” was found dead on the roof.
The bird was taken back to Lincoln for study, and his story began to unfold.
The falcon, banded at the Nebraska State Capitol on June 2, 2009, apparently died after a territory fight with another peregrine.
