Cirrus Snacking At The Liftbridge

January 16, 2011 - Burlington - Lift Bridge

Frank Butson Reports:

On January 16th,Sue Adorjan and her husband were lucky enough to find a Peregrine Falcon having a meal on the hydro tower,just west of the Liftbridge. From this great photo,we can confirm it is the resident female Cirrus,hatched in 2006 in Dayton Ohio.

Here Sue captured Cirrus eating.

Finished her meal,Cirrus does something called “feeking”. She is cleaning off her beak by wiping it off. She also cleaned her talons.

Observations like Sue’s are very important as it helps with the ongoing monitoring of Peregrine Falcons. Peregrine Falcons are still considered threatened. Reports from the public help greatly to  be sure Peregrine Falcons continue to recover.Thanks Sue!
