-- Inclement weather has an adverse effect on the nesting success of northern bobwhites.
-- An examination of 31 juvenile Snail Kites found that two had died of emaciation.
-- The types of trauma known to kill falcons in Florida include vehicle strikes, power line strikes, building strikes, gunshot and entrapment.
-- There is limited information on the helminths of Ospreys.
-- Four species of falcon are found in Florida, including the Crested Caracara.
-- Hawks are cool looking.
