They usually like  to make nests on high areas like cliffs and buildings so they can hunt. Falcons also like to make nests near water. Peregrine falcons can survive in a variety of habitats, like cities, deserts, and tundras. In the U.S. most peregrine falcons are found on the eastern and western seaboards.]]> 2018-03-27 12:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246454724 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246460298 Peregrine falcons mostly eat birds.

Female falcons usually lay 2-5 eggs, but can sometimes lay more. The second stage is incubation. During incubation the female sits on the eggs while the male hunts for food. Incubation starts once the egg is laid and it lasts 33-36 days. The third stage is chicks(eyas). Falcon chicks look like little snowballs without their wings. They will grow feathers in 3-5 weeks and will be full grown in 6 weeks.]]> 2018-03-27 12:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246463887 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246853522 A peregrine falcon is a very unique animal. With a wingspan of 31-47 inches it can also be a very scary animal.

They have a body length of 13-23 inches.]]> 2018-03-28 12:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246853522 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246868233 The peregrine falcon does't hunt like other animals hunt. They use their incredible speed and sharp talons to their advantage. Falcons usually hit their prey with its talon. They also sever the spine of their prey with the beak and if the prey is stunned, the falcon grabs it. This is why falcons can kill such]]> 2018-03-28 12:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/246868233 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/249557180 Peregrine falcons have had a very hard past. Around 50 years ago DDT was introduced in the U.S. DDT and other pesticides almost made the Peregrine falcon extinct. However, thanks to one of the most successful species recoveries ever the Peregrine falcon was taken of the endangered species list in 1999.]]> 2018-04-08 17:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/249557180 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/249558767 2018-04-08 17:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/249558767 ap010497 https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/250662055 2018-04-11 12:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ap010497/7ipe24dubqfs/wish/250662055
