News of this bird at the Sactuary:

 

The female Peregrine Falcon was injured when she hit a fence while pursuing prey. Peregrine Falcons will pursue prey so intently that they often do not see danger. When this bird was being trained by a Falconer, we learned it could not fly. Being a migratory bird that travels great distances, the Peregrine would have to be in perfect condition. After intense training with this bird, she was deemed non-releasable. The male falcon was a falconry bird. When he was released, he did not survive well on his own. Peregrine Falcons are the fastest animal in the world. In a stoop, a Peregrine reaches speeds of over 200 mile an hour. The word Peregrine means “wanderer” and Falcon means “sickle shaped,” pertaining to the shape of the wings. Peregrine Falcons are an Endangered Species.
