peregrine falcon fledgling

Fledging has started

The young male falcon who was missing after his first flight has reappeared. 

The first juvenile falcon that fledged from the nest and ended up in rehab shortly after fledging was found walking on Water Street this week and is now back in rehab.

The two young peregrine falcons that ended up on the ground after their first flights are back at home.

Our local Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), who oversees these endangered birds, has provided instructions on what to do if a falcon is found on the ground.
