The Range that the Peregrine Falcons are normally found at are Urban City's, the Tropics, Deserts, and the Tundra. They can sometimes also be found in grasslands. They prefer large open spaces, and go near coasts where shore boards are common.  Most tundra-nesting falcons winter in South America.]]> 2019-04-24 13:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/353732066 rm006069 https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/354093230 Peregrine Falcons have a very large diet.

The male and female falcons will brood the eggs for about a month until the eggs are ready to hatch. The eyas will stay in the aerie for up to 6 weeks, by that time they will be able to fly. In that period of time they become fledgling. They will be able to hunt for themselves after 4 weeks of being a fledgling. ]]> 2019-04-25 13:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/354103910 rm006069 https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/354109065 Did you know that the female Peregrine Falcon is slightly larger then the male Falcon? They are about the size of a crow and can be 1 to 3 pounds. There wing span can be from 3 to 6 feet! You will know if you see a Peregrine Falcon if they have blue-gray wings, dark brown backs and white faces.

Some pesticides like DDT harmed the falcons causing there egg shells to become dangerously thin. While the parents tried to incubate them, the eggs would crack before the eyas were ready.The farmers used DDT for farming to get the bugs and flies away from the crops. The falcons were put on the Endangered Species List. There numbers dropped dangerously low in the United States during the 1950's and 1970's. DDT was soon banned for threatening the falcons. ]]> 2019-04-26 13:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/354449248 rm006069 https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/354457827 Did you know that the Peregrine Falcon are commonly referred to the 'Duck Hawk'.

Well they do, and when they do it they become the fastest flying animal in the world. First, the falcon pumps its wings until going 50 mph. Then, folding it wings against its body, the falcon drops down into a dive called a stoop. When the Peregrine Falcon dives it reaches a speed over 200 mph.]]> 2019-04-30 17:16:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rm006069/k1x2uihsfuoz/wish/355540153
