Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) inhabit wetlands near cliffs and prey chiefly on ducks, shorebirds and seabirds. Sometimes found in cities, on bridges and tall buildings. They are rare and local in the west. Eastern breeding populations were extirpated in recent decades, largely due to pesticides. Peregrines have now been reintroduced in some parts of their former range and are now seen year-around.
