The Recovery of the Peregrine Falcon











                      In 1970, scientists began a program




                to help the peregrine falcon. They


                    v.

                them to a laboratory. Once the baby


                birds hatched, scientists put them




                into nests where they could be fed



                by adult falcons. The adult birds took




                care of the babies as if they were their own.
