Many are found on cliffs, buildings, and in tundras, and deserts. But there is one place that the falcon does not live and that's Antarctica. There has been reports that Peregrine Falcons have been found every where except for that one continent. Most Peregrine Falcons live up north but migrate to the south when it gets cooler. The falcons usually live in higher places to live so they can hunt.]]> 2018-03-27 12:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246455492 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246460308 Peregrine Falcons mostly feast on birds. This includes songbirds, ducks, bats, starlings, doves, and pigeons. Even sometimes they can feast on frogs and rabbits. The  Great Horned Owl is the Peregrine falcons major predator and threat. The Great Horned Owl took over the Peregrine Falcons when the falcons were losing in population.]]> 2018-03-27 12:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246460308 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246609251 Every time a Falcon lays eggs, they lay about two to five each time.
They wait until all the eggs are laid so the Falcon can start the incubation. The incubation lasts for about 33 to 36 days and then the eggs hatch. The tiny birds look like snowballs and they are called eyas. When the eyas get a little older they become fledglings. When they are in the fledgling stage  the young birds begins to learn to fly. Soon after that, the young birds grow to adults and they start their own life.]]> 2018-03-27 17:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246609251 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246857636 Peregrine Falcons have many unique features all over there bodies. The Bodies are streamlined with a blue jean gray color. The falcons have small heads and large pointed wings. They have sharp eyes and sharp talons. Their bill is steel gray and curved . They have yellow feet have have a barred chest. The Peregrine Falcon really has many features that make it so unique. ]]> 2018-03-28 12:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246857636 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246883502 When the Peregrine Falcons go to hunt its not good for other animals. When it spots its prey the falcon tucks in its wings and dives at a whopping 240 mph. When it reaches the prey (most likely a bird) it smacks it out of mid-air leaving it to tumble down. The Peregrine Falcon has many ways to finish the prey. It can use its sharp talons and stab it, or they can use their beak to sever the spine at the neck. But when the falcons go to hunt only 20% of their hunts come back with a kill. ]]> 2018-03-28 13:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246883502 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246888142 Back in the 1950s and 70s the Peregrine Falcon population dropped because of the usage of the chemical DDT. DDT was critical to the drop in population of the falcons because when adult falcons laid the eggs  the shells thinned causing many eggs to not be a success  when it was time to hatch. A couple years later in 1972 DDT was outlawed and the alcon population when back up again. Later in the 80s and 90s the population of the falcons tripled making the recovery of the falcons one of the most successful recoveries.]]> 2018-03-28 13:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/246888142 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247216635 2018-03-29 12:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247216635 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247218187 Did you know that the  Peregrine Falcon is the fastest bird when it come to diving. They go over 240 mph when they dive. Also some urban Peregrine Falcons don't hibernate. They also don't have lips. When the Peregrine Falcon goes into its dive that called a stoop.]]> 2018-03-29 12:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247218187 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247218734 2018-03-29 12:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247218734 cf010539 https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247227251 2018-03-29 12:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cf010539/54pw996iuifh/wish/247227251
