Correction

JATA is located in Tooele at 104 N. Fourth Street. An article in last Thursday’s paper incorrectly stated the company was located in another city. The Transcript-Bulletin apologizes for the error.

Falcons return

Downtown Salt Lake City’s famous pair of peregrine falcons is back. Right now, the falcons are caring for three eggs the female has laid in a nest box on the northeast corner of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. You can also travel downtown and watch the falcons in person. You can follow the antics of the falcons on your computer screen by logging onto wildlife.utah.gov. Once you’re on the home page, click on the “Peregrine falcon cam link” on the right side of the page. “Officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have placed two cameras in the nest box,” said Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the DWR. “One camera gives you a ‘long view’ of the interior of the box. The second camera focuses on the nest scrape where the eggs are laid. If all goes well, you’ll be able to watch the falcons from the time they hatch until they learn to fly.” Church officials have also placed a microphone in the nest area so you can hear the falcons. With the help of his Salt Lake City Peregrine Falcon Watchpost Rescue Team, a total of 11 of 14 young-of-the-year falcons learned to fly in the downtown area from 1986 through 1990 and in 1995. After learning to fly, they dispersed into the wild. From 2004 through 2008, eight of 11 young were raised successfully at the site.
