Investigators Call Falcon's Death Suspicious

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Wildlife and The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said on Thursday that they are investigating whether someone killed a peregrine falcon last week.

The falcon, named, Scout was nesting atop the Rhodes Tower downtown but fell more than 40 stories to its death on July 1, 10TV's Lindsey Seavert reported.

A passerby found Scout's body on the sidewalk under the LeVeque Tower.


At first, investigators assumed that the death was an accident, considering a baby falcon, named Swoop, fell to his death while attempting his first flight on June 28.

The Columbus Dispatch received a tip that Scout died at the hands of a worker who was installing special lights for Friday's Red, White and Boom fireworks.

A witness claimed that Scout was protecting her nest, flew at the worker and was attacked with a broom.

Undercover officers said that they were interviewing witnesses, Seavert reported.

After Scout's death, another female falcon moved in and was found dead on a sidewalk within two days. Investigators said the most recent falcon death appeared to be accidental.

The ODNR said that it will do its best to protect the father and the sole baby that remain.

"We will have more work to do," said Donna Daniel, a biologist with the Ohio Division of Wildlife. "Folks down there that may be working on buildings need to call us if they have questions or they have problems."

If someone is charged, he or she could face a first-degree misdemeanor, a $1,000 fine, six months in jail or $2,500 in restitution.

How tragic this all is ~ I think it was Spirit in my video at 5:30pm the 6th~~by the sound of the crying out {couldn't see very well even though I lightened it~so maybe it was Clementine} or maybe when Clementine heard Spirit she came shortly afterwards in response. What a terrible chain of events.

I am happy to hear of that probably being Trooper & Spirit together on the other ledge & hope he is able to help Spirit until on it's own.

I tried frame by frame to see the band but only got this

Terrible...

I have seen no updates about the investigation. There certainly has been plenty of time.

Meanwhile, who's that on the ledge?
