Description

As the agency reported it.

The peregrine fund (TPF) has partnered with u.s fish and wildlife service (USFWS) southeast region, USFWS caribbean ecological services field office and puerto rican department of natural and environmental resources (dner) to recover the endemic and endangered puerto rican sharp-shinned hawk (accipiter striatus venator - wetmore 1914) in the common wealth forests of the central cordillera. In september 2017 hurricane maria, a category 5 storm, devastated the forests and reduced the hawk population to around 20 individuals, as determined from surveys conducted during the early 2018 breeding season. The goals are to recover the population to pre-hurricane maria status of around 75 hawks by increasing productivity through: (1) captive propagation methods, and (2) managing nesting attempts for control of the nest fly (philornis SP.) infestations. Objective 1 increases productivity by pulling complete clutches during early incubation (this makes pairs RE-nest, doubling the number of nesting attempts) from first nesting attempts, and then artificially incubating, hatching, raising and releasing the young back to the wild by hacking. Hacking, a method developed by the peregrine fund to release young from a box where they naturally develop their flying and hunting skills until dispersal, ensures that young survive to dispersal age and independence. Objective 2 increases productivity of first and second nesting attempts that were not used for captive propagation by increasing nestling survival to fledging age. These objectives and actions conducted by the TPF address several of the USFWS priority recovery criteria for recovery to this threatened hawk in puerto rico
