Folks out in that area-can you keep an eye out?
My name is Jennifer Westhoff, I live in Stanley outside of Luray and own Raptor Hill falconry School.
On Friday I lost one of my Falcons near the Foleys farm.
He has a GPS system on his back that looks like a little blue rocket pack but the battery has died. He also has a reward/phone number Tag on his right leg. There is a large reward for the safe return of this bird.
He is a fabulous education bird and has taught thousands of people about nature and conservation.
He may be found sitting on Barns or roof lines searching for small birds to eat. He is very friendly and might approach in a stoop or a dive if hungry. He is a little smaller than a hawk and looks identical to a peregrine falcon.
Please pass this info on to anyone you think might be able to help. Landowners, Farmers, rehabbers, birders, that's, falconers.
Thank you so much, Jennifer Westhoff

The Piedmont Virginian would like to express our deepest condolences to our writer Ed Felker on the loss of his dog, Winnie. Ed is an incredibly talented writer and photographer, and his dog stories always touch the heart. To meet Winnie, check out Ed's blog from 2018. Rest in peace, Winnie.
At some point between her last birthday and today, according to the dog-to-human years conversion charts, Winnie passed me in age. It’s hard to believe it’s been nine years. I can still remember when her puppy feet smelled like Frito’s and her sweet breath on my face was my favorite thing. Nin...

Dr. Sam Ahdoot placed her land in Rappahannock County under a conservation easement with The Piedmont Environmental Council in 2019.
The easement was designed to provide many public benefits, including protecting clean water, restoring native plant and wildlife habitat, and preserving the scenic views from Shenandoah National Park and F.T. Valley Road.
A massive thank you to Dr. Ahdoot both for placing her land under easement and for being willing to speak with us on camera about her experience!
