young peregrine falcon

The young male Peregrine falcon, Sharib, disappeared for a few days around July 4. 

The young Kalamazoo Peregrines continue their training in downtown.  As they are roaming more, they are more difficult to see predictably especially midday. 

Checker (22/C Black/blue) returned home this afternoon after spending about 10 days at the Braveheart Raptor Rehabilitation Center

Checker's release was covered in the Kalamazoo Gazette.  For the on line version, you can follow this link.
