Peregrine Banding
Special | 6m 37s
Greg Septon has banded over 500 peregrine falcons since the recovery efforts began in 1987
Peregrine falcons were wiped out in Wisconsin by the mid-60s due to the insecticide DDT. Now as a result of efforts by some dedicated individuals, they're on the rebound. Greg Septon is one of them. He's been working on recovery efforts in the eastern part of the state since the late 80s. It can be dangerous and sometimes very dirty work, but his passion for these magnificent birds never ends.
