Wired News: Birders Mourn Web Cam Falcon: "ST. PAUL, Minnesota -- Birders around the world are mourning the death of Mae, the first known peregrine falcon to nest at a power plant, who became an Internet star through a webcam that allowed thousands to watch her during nesting season.
Mae was killed this spring in a territorial battle with another falcon at an Xcel Energy smokestack in Oak Park Heights, about 20 miles east of St. Paul. Sympathy cards have arrived from as far away as Germany since her death, said Bob Anderson, director of the Raptor Resource Project and overseer of Xcel's bird-cam and nest-box programs. "
