Actually several breed projects I am aware of went poorly this year .
HH breeder in Ga. lost half his clutches . Producing about 17 birds last year only turned 8 this year .
Another project in La. lost about 7 eggs from an unseen predator producing only one MHH.
Peregrine project lost 3, I think ?, when the male decided to reduce there number .
Another HH project in Wa. was abandon due to a fly parasite which was killing the young birds.
Some other projects didn't produce any eggs .

Breeding Falconry birds seems to be a hit miss situation ! !
