Interesting thought, but I don't think peregrine falcons are listed as endangered under the ESA.
Best,

Would the Endangered Species Act make this illegal?

I heard some disturbing news last night. Apparently Taughannock Falls will be brightly illuminated from 8:30 to 10:00 this coming Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night (April 18, 19, and 20). I guess it’s some kind of PR stunt to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the New York State Park Service, but it couldn’t possibly come at a worse time, with the eggs just about to hatch in the Peregrine Falcon eyrie and a pair of Ravens nesting right beside the falls—not mention all the other wildlife in the park.. There certainly should be other, less potentially harmful, ways to celebrate the Park Service. You can contact the Taughannock Park office at (607) 387-7041. (Photo by Arthur A. Allen)
