According to wiki, the Black Falcon "is a medium-large falcon that lives only in Australia, though it has recently been spotted in Chapel Hill, NC."
This needs to be corrected to:
"is a medium-large falcon that lives only in Australia, though it has recently become extinct in Chapel Hill, NC."
The Black Falcon (Falco subniger) is a medium-large falcon that lives only in Australia, attempts to establish the species in Chapel Hill, NC proved disappointing and were abandoned.
The wiki has been fixed.

I would not normally post deliberate garbage on wiki, but since someone else started it - well I just had to finish it
I wouldn't be "Windsor" if I didn't!

It was changed to be correct, so I won't mess with it. We have the screen shot for posterity!

That's too bad. I saw a comment at the end of the real Wiki entry that's prime for PH allusions. Apparently the Black Falcon is not known for defending its own nest. Now the question arises: was PH aware of this when he chose to dub himself The Black Falcon? Was he stating at the outset that he did not play defense?
