Description - ANSWER✔✔ Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon hunts
medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above in a spectacular
stoop. They were virtually eradicated from eastern North America by pesticide
poisoning in the middle 20th century. After significant recovery efforts, Peregrine
Falcons have made an incredible rebound and are now regularly seen in many
large cities and coastal areas.
Habitat - ANSWER✔✔ The word "peregrine" means "wanderer" or "pilgrim," and
Peregrine Falcons occur all over the world. In North America they breed in open
landscapes with cliffs (or skyscrapers) for nest sites. They can be found nesting at
elevations up to about 12,000 feet, as well as along rivers and coastlines or in
cities, where the local Rock Pigeon populations offer a reliable food supply. In
migration and winter you can find Peregrine Falcons in nearly any open habitat,
but with a greater likelihood along barrier islands, mudflats, coastlines, lake
edges, and mountain chains.
