...quite the contrary, the decline was due to poor nutrition and loss of habitat due to large numbers of "family farms" denuding millions of acres...

Mmmmaybe for eagles, but I'm not sure how that applies to falcons, who feast of the type of small prey that's often a pest on farms, like birds and rodents.

If falcons do well in cities and suburbs, it's hard to see how they wouldn't thrive on a family farm.
