Falcon Nests

Falcon nests are not very flashy affairs. Historically, falcons would
lay their eggs in epiphytes, but in the pine plantations, they just
lay them on the ground. The nests are called "scrapes" because all
they are is a small patch of dirt. This works because there are not
many predators in New Zealand that can take on a falcon. See my
earlier post of an attacking falcon to see why.
