The Center for Conservation Biology at the College of William and Mary has
launched the VAFALCONS website. This site attempts to bring together existing
information on the Virginia breeding population of Peregrine Falcons. In
addition to natural history, management, and monitoring information, the site
hosts the tracking of 18 young falcons (deployment of transmitters is in
progress) from 2002 and Caroline Dare (one of the falcons from the 2001
cohort). The FalconTrak portion of the website allows the user to interact
with a tracking database via a dynamic map interface. It is our hope that
providing this resource will entice the public to become more involved in the
ongoing research, monitoring, and management of this vulnerable population.
VAFALCONS is accessible on the internet by going to the Center's home page
http://www.ccb-wm.org and clicking on a fastlink to VAFALCONS or by going ;
