Saturday, May 2, 9 am to 2 pm
Instructor: Harvey Webster, CMNH Director of Wildlife Resources
Join us as we search the canyons of Cleveland for the Peregrine Falcon, the world's fastest bird. Once a critically endangered species, Peregrine Falcons have made a stunning comeback over the past 30 years. Releases of captive-bred peregrines in urban centers in the Great Lakes region have led to a generation of falcons accustomed to life in the city. We will tour downtown Cleveland and environs in search of these "sleek missiles" capable of ‘stooping’ at speeds in excess of 200 mph! This is the time of year that the Peregrines are nesting and we will look for signs of success at regional aeries. In addition, we will seek the Peregrine's smaller cousin, the American Kestrel, as well as many other wild creatures in the city. Travel by Museum Van. Limit: 12.
