Most peregrine falcons migrate to warmer places. If they live in cities they will nest on the edges of tall buildings or the tops of bridges. They prefer to be in wide open spaces near the coastline  when they nest.  One nest they build can last for years.  The peregrines falcon's ability to adapt helps them to survive almost anywhere.]]> 2018-03-27 12:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246453705 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246460364 Peregrine falcons are carnivores so they are meat eaters. They mainly eat other birds such as songbirds, ducks and they even eat bats! They will catch them in mid-air then eat once they've landed. But when you have prey there are also predators. The great horned owl, golden eagle and other falcons feed on the peregrine falcon. Luckily the peregrine falcon isn't endangered. Right now it is Least Concerned in the world]]> 2018-03-27 12:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246460364 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246464923 When the peregrine falcon hatches from its egg. When they hatch they are called eyases. It will take 29 - 32 day incubation. It will take 40+ days to learn how to fly. They can live up to 20 years. Mating season for the peregrine falcons is March - May. Also they can lay up to 4 eggs. They will grow up to the size of a crow. By the time the parents are dead the bird will already be mating. Then you have the whole cycle all over again. ]]> 2018-03-27 12:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246464923 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246871445 The peregrine falcon will grow up to the size of a crow.  The adults will have a  blue-gray kind of colored wings. They also have black backs . They weigh between 18.8 - 56.5 oz. They grow up to 19 inches.  There wingspan is  3.5 ft. There wingspan is pretty much larger than a baby. The peregrine falcon is one of the largest falcons in the world.]]> 2018-03-28 13:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/246871445 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247050655 When the peregrine falcon hunts it catches its prey in mid-air. The speed there going at has a big impact on there hunting. Once they've killed there prey the falcon carries it to a place where they can eat it safely.  They are carnivores so they eat meat. When hunting they sit on high places and the attack when ready.  They must be patient and they must make sure they don't scare away there prey.]]> 2018-03-28 19:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247050655 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247052711 In the past these creatures were being hunted by DDT. The DDT was used as a pesticide so that the falcons would die. When this was used it caused eggshell thinning which meant their unborn babies were never born! Also great horned owls and golden eagles hunt for the falcon. After that the population of peregrine falcons had dropped. However the use of DDT for hunting these falcons was banned from the U.S. in 1970. Now the population is least concerned and we don't have to worry about their population. ]]> 2018-03-28 19:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247052711 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247217984 2018-03-29 12:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247217984 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247219159 2018-03-29 12:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247219159 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247221719 2018-03-29 12:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247221719 bw014226 https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247222452 2018-03-29 12:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bw014226/zn4ipklmfwcs/wish/247222452
