GREETING CARD:
“The Northern Aplomado Falcon (Falco femoralis septentrionalis) is part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.
SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Brian Mutch, The Peregrine Fund | Director - Aplomado Falcon Restoration
""The Northern Aplomado Falcon represents the only endangered falcon species in the United
States. It was listed as endangered by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service in 1986. In 1952
the last known pair of Aplomado Falcons nested within the United States near Deming, New
Mexico and in Texas, the last nesting attempt occurred in the mid-1940s on the King Ranch. In
1990, The Peregrine Fund began a recovery effort for this species, breeding Aplomado Falcons
in captivity and reintroducing young produced back to historical Texas habitat. During 15
seasons The Peregrine Fund produced and then released 936 young aplomados to the Texas
Gulf Coast. In 1995 the first returning pair of released falcons nested successfully, representing
a Milestone event in the US, absent for almost 50 years! The population has grown to 44 pairs
but has fluctuated over the years. There are many challenges ahead but The Peregrine Fund,
along with its many partners remain committed to the recovery of this very charismatic species,
the Aplomado Falcon."
