Peregrine Falcon

8×10″ finished size.

The Peregrine Falcon is among the most common birds of prey in the world. Peregrines nest on high cliffs; however, they have adapted well to urban living. Peregrines were removed from the Endangered Species List in 1999. Their population is recovering from sharp declines caused by now-banned DDT pesticide. The Peregrine Falcon is the state bird of Idaho and joined The FLOCK in January 2020.
