Hear, hear, Saorise. :) Yes, I guess it would be good to hear the worker's version of the story. But several peregrine death's at one site, sure sounds awfully suspicious to me. :-\

Scout's death may require legal action but Swoop's death is a not unusual fledging accident, so nothing suspicious there. As for Clementine, one of their "fledgewatchers" observed her hunting and watched her crash - again, this is not an unusual hunting accident, peregrines are found with their prey in their talons in the middle of empty fields every year and its due to accidents just like this. Seems to have to do with hunting at high speed and what do you focus on, the prey as they try to avoid you or the ground as its rushing up at you. Clementine was not an inexperienced bird, so unfortunate as this is, its not a suspicious death either.
Elaine L:
And, apparently this worker went inside to get a broom after Scout dive-bombed him, came back out, and used the broom the kill her. It was not even a spur-of-the-moment reaction. If everything is true about what this guy did, then hanging is too good for him, as we say out here.

I agree with you Kinderchick about the number of deaths sounding suspicious.
I really do not want to hear the workers version. I see no reason to kill a bird. They only attack if they are protecting their young. I feel this person is a cold heartless person and he/she would have no problem killing anything.
I am very upset about this and how Scout died. It never should have happened.
