Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Heinz Meng (deceased; SUNY New Paltz) was the scientist/educator who was instrumental in introducing Falcons to city life. He earned his doctorate in the 50's doing just that in NYC....and other cities soon adopted the falcons as a way to control pigeons. They're natural cliff dwellers....so the high-rise ledges are natural homes for them. Their diving speeds have been clocked at close to 200 MPH...probably the fastest bird alive.
