The Peregrine Falcon
(Falco peregrinus)

This beautiful acrobat of the sky had seen a population decline
in the 1960's and 70's due in part to pesticides. Listed in much
of the US as an endangered species, the peregrine is making a
comeback in Western New York, other urban areas throughout the
US and much of it's historic habitat.
High atop the Statler Towers is currently the
only known nesting pair within the city limits of Buffalo. While
visiting our fine city, be sure to look high in the sky for the
aerodynamic display as they let everyone know who owns the skyline.
