Re: Fauna - In and around Lakewood.
This morning while looking over the rim of the Emerald Canyon I noticed this bird. The Peregrine Falcon.
The Peregrine Falcon is also known as the fastest animal in the world.
They have clocked Peregrine Falcons at speeds reaching 186 mph.
This bird was more than 200' away and I was behind the wall and he still turned and followed me while I moved about.
He left and his mate soon arrived. This indicates they are with eggs in their nests.
Stay tuned.

Mom sits down in the nest on a cold winter morning. According to watchers, she has at least one and possibly two eggs.
This is the Emerald Canyon/Rocky River Reservation Eagle, in her 4th nest on the site. The other 3 broke or fell down in storms.
The average bald eagle nest is 7' across and weighs more than 2,000lbs!
Stay tuned, will will keep a watch on her and the young ones.

Update on the Emerald Canyon Eagles
Mom stands watch over a a solitary eaglet. The eaglet about the size of a small turkey will leave the nest by July 4.

Immature Bald Eagle hanging out in a tree at dusk, down in the Canyon near Stinchcomb Hill.
Probably around 2-3 years old, as that is when their white head starts to come in.
Keep your eyes open I have seen a few of these young ones flying around Lakewood. If it looks like a hawk, but seem to large, might be a bald eagle.

Swallowtail butterflies are in the family Papilionidae, including over 550 species. A majority are tropical, members of the family. The family includes the largest butterflies in the world, the birdwing butterflies.
The forked appearance in some of the swallowtails' hindwings, gave rise to the common name swallowtail.
