A Debut to Remember

Something fresh, new, and exciting has made a grand debut this week. Something faster than a cheetah, smaller than a breadbox, and able to fly upside down!

It's . . .

Baby Peregrine Falcons! Right here in downtown Rochester, cameras have been spying on a nesting pair of Peregrines and this week they are busy, busy, busy gathering food for their three new powder puffs of joy.

Peregrine Falcons were nearly eradicated by pesticide use, but they are making a comeback. These birds can be found all over the continental U.S., but are more common on the coast. In a hunting dive, they can reach up to 200 mph, making them the fastest animal on the planet. To receive prey from her mate, a female peregrine will fly upside down. (Talk about a cool chick!)

    Cool they had some baby falcons. They seem a little suspicious of the camera though.

  6. Our old home had a pair of Peregrines who used to return each year, we were not fans as they kept eating the Collar Doves that lived in our garden. But they were cool birds.

    And thanks for visiting even after the end of the A to Z folk seldom ever do that

I will do everything in my power to visit commenter's blogs unless I've been abducted by aliens or my children get sick. (If my children get abducted by aliens, I will be very busy, of course, catching up on my sleep.)
