We Found a Peregrine Falcon Nest Without a Nest | PA Game Commission Rescue Mission

We were asked by the Pennsylvania Game Commission through Monaca Fire to help track down a peregrine falcon nesting site in the Monaca, PA area. A juvenile peregrine falcon was found injured on a local roadway and was being treated by wildlife rehab experts. The goal? Reintroduce it to its original family in the wild.

But there was a twist: peregrine falcons don’t build traditional nests. Instead, they use old nests from other birds or simply nest on ledges and cliffs — leaving no nesting materials behind to identify the site.
Join us as we navigate this unique challenge, track down the adult peregrine falcons and siblings, and ultimately locate the nesting area through fieldwork, observation, and a little luck. We were even able to capture incredible footage of the juvenile falcon’s wild siblings!
🦅 Watch for:
• Behind-the-scenes a real juvenal peregrine falcon
• Where would a peregrine falcon nest
• Drone footage showing the falcon’s family
• Amazing wildlife footage in Monaca, Pennsylvania

🚒 Monaca Fire Station Construction Update | Week Ending November 29, 2024 | Inside Footers 🚒

Welcome back, everyone! This week at the Monaca Fire Station construction site, it's been all about laying the groundwork. Let’s dive into the latest progress! 📈🏗️
🔧 Downspout Piping Installation This crucial step ensures rainwater management around the future station, protecting the foundation and surrounding areas from water damage. 🌧️💧
🔨 Preparing Inside Footers and Pylons Early in the week, our crews filled necessary areas with limestone to create a stable base. This preparation paved the way for pouring the interior footers. 🏛️
🏗️ Pouring Interior Footers By midweek, we achieved a significant milestone by pouring the interior footers, providing critical structural support for the building. This ties into our next phase of work. 🧱
🔌 Upcoming Work: Under-Slab Plumbing and Electrical Conduit Next, we'll shift focus to installing under-slab plumbing and electrical conduit. These systems are vital for the building’s functionality and efficiency. Following that, more stone backfilling will ensure a stable foundation for future construction phases. 🚧💡

🚒 Monaca Fire Station Construction Update | Week Ending Nov 8, 2024 | Footer and Drainage Progress 🚧

We're back with another exciting update on the Monaca Fire Station construction! 🏗️✨ This week, ending Friday, November 8, 2024, the site has been buzzing with activity as we edge closer to laying the foundation for Monaca’s future fire station.

Watch the full video on YouTube now! 📹🔗 https://youtu.be/VEC6zythqhU

In this update:
• Footer Work: The crew started with major groundwork, digging footers and carefully placing rebar reinforcements in the trenches. Concrete was poured into the footers, ensuring every step is up to code. Rigorous on-site testing guarantees the highest standards of durability.
• Parking Lot Preparation: Progress continues with the removal of unsuitable soil from the parking lot. The team has dug an additional two feet to make room for a geogrid installation and stone backfill, ensuring stability and durability.
• Drainage Improvements: The team installed a catch basin for the parking lot and connected it to the on-site retention pond with underground piping. This efficient system will help manage stormwater and prepare the site for any weather challenges.
• Natural Spring Solution: A challenge remains in addressing the drainage issue caused by a natural spring discovered on-site. The team is actively working on solutions to ensure this doesn’t delay the construction schedule.

As you can see, every day brings us closer to transforming this site into Monaca’s new fire station. From structural reinforcements to drainage improvements, the crew is making steady progress.
