Hi, I'm Chad Saladin, this is my wife Chris and we are a Paragon Falcon fanatics. We have monitored paragons for over 20 years with the Ohio Division of Wildlife. But they no longer monitor, but we still watch them and photograph them and do programs about them. We actually started watching them in the mid to late 90s. The first pair in Cleveland was the terminal tower, so we'd go down there a little bit, public square, watch a little bit, but at that time it wasn't the greatest spot to watch them. So when the pair showed up in the late 90s at Rocky River Metro Parks, that's when we really got into watching. And once we started really learning about them and watching them, they were just, they hooked us. I mean, it was an amazing bird to watch and now we've been doing it like I said 20 plus years. I love them. You're such fascinating birds to watch. And we really enjoy going from sight to sight, seeing all that they do. We started off just by watching them purely from safe distances and seeing their different behaviors. And without any camera equipment or anything like that. And then after a little while we started saying we really need to try to capture what these birds are able to do. And really try to find a way to show people what they're capable of and just how dynamic they are and how much personality they have and everything else. So we started off with digi-scoping with you, buying a little camera and trying to shoot through a spotting scope. And just trying to get some images that way. And of course that was not quite satisfying because we weren't capturing them in the air. And so we turned to photography. And neither one of us considered ourselves photographers. That's not why we got into it. We really got into photographing them because we wanted to capture moments in their lives. And things that were special to us. So we've always tried to follow these birds, monitor their behaviors, pay attention to what's going on with them and learn about them. And we're always learning something new about them. It's been fascinating. So the pictures and things help us to do that. And when we first started monitoring, there were only 12 known pairs in the state. Now we're getting close to 40. So they're coming back really well. Cleveland area is a hot spot. We have 11 pairs in the general Cleveland area. We visit about five or six pairs regularly. But we'll check on other pairs. And we still keep all the stats. And we still keep all the information about them. We still enjoyed as much as we did when we started. We got to see ourselves as stored as stewards of the species as much as possible. They certainly have made a major comeback. It's one of the best comeback stories of all time in the animal kingdom. And it's such an important bird for wildlife and environmental protections and things. And that story is huge in itself. We could go on and on about the DDT era and their recovery and how they've gotten to this point where their population is now stable. It was actually the largest effort to restore endangered species back to the wild. So yeah, it was just a great effort. And it was a lot of people were involved in it. Getting rid of DDT took six years to do that, fighting the farm and industry. And so once they got rid of DDT, then they started to kept the breeding. And they've really been coming back. They've released 7,000 in the 70s and 80s all around North America. And now they're really showing up.
