Peregrine Poster

This Peregrine Falcon, falco peregrinus an endangered species, lives on top of the highest building on Brigantine island NJ, the former Brigantine Inn. In October 2003 I spent several hours behind the curtain of my apartment window watching as he devoured two Northern Flickers and then sat on the ledge. In October 2005 I again observed him at close range devouring his prey and flying. The Peregrine is the fastest bird alive, attaining a speed of up to 250 mph in a dive to kill prey. The species is making a recovery after falling to low numbers from poisoning by DDT and other pesticides.
