Peregrine falcons - Rockford's official city bird - have again nested in downtown. There's a new quartet of hatchlings that will soon take flight.

Thanks to @Sinnissippi Audubon, dozens of climate-change-threatened birds—from warblers to waders to raptors on the hunt—can be seen perched on buildings and soaring across walls in downtown Rockford, Illinois year-round. #AudubonMuralProject https://t.co/XTNs9L4s62

Their hiss is worse than their bite, and this time of year they’re everywhere in Rockford: https://t.co/lltIf99oWA

We need to encourage organizers and city leaders to consider the presence of wildlife. ⁦#peregrinefalcon #citybird #rockford #illinois #wildlife #fireworks https://t.co/BBoA23odbn

��Birdsongs: Sounds of the Mississippi Flyway” is a newly released compilation of original instrumental songs inspired by, as the title suggests, the sounds of birds commonly found in northern Illinois.

"They're kind of love songs to the species." All the songs were inspired by birds endangered or threatened in Illinois. We're partial to the piping plover tune. https://t.co/VebBpK8IqX

@KristenZambo You were the only one. :)

Thank you to everyone who submitted a name and/or voted to help name this year’s Rockford peregrine falcons.

We especially love that several of our local schools participate. Thanks to the teachers for bringing these birds into the classrooms.

We started out the season with five eggs and three of the five were successful hatches! Those three were banded today.

Join todays Twitter storm and Phone zap 📞 to tell @GovPritzker @JBPritzker to do the right thing and #SaveBellBowlPrairie ! He just released an ad boasting the airport expansion with no mention of the impact it will have in destroying the 8k yr old prairie and it's inhabitants!
