I just by chance found this & thought I would share the info for those of us that didn't know it
Lucy a 2003 from Gulf is at the Raptor Inc in Cincinnati.


Lucy


Lucy: was banded when she hatched from a nest at the Gulf Tower in Pittsburgh, PA in June 2003. She came to RAPTOR Inc. 4 months later after being found at the Greater Cincinnati Airport with left and right wing injuries. She is now 16” tall, weighs 2 lbs and has a 42” wingspan.

Populations of Peregrine falcons declined significantly after WWII due the use of the pesticide DDT. Starting in the mid 1970s, a successful captive breeding program began re-introducing the birds into the wild, including into cities where abandoned peregrine nests were found on buildings. Cincinnati has its own pair of Peregrine falcons that nest each year on top of the Fourth and Vine building downtown.
Picture of her here:

Thank you, Kitten! I tried to find more info about her but am running out of time. I'm guessing she is an education bird.

Thank you, SGB! I wonder if they also take the birds to Audubon meetings like they do around here...
