Peregrine Falcon #17-1244 update

A biologist at Shenandoah National Park reported that the Peregrine Falcon was successfully released at the hack site within the park on Wednesday, June 28. The bird was gradually released -- the cardboard transport box was partially opened, and the bird came out after about 30 minutes, and hopped around on the rocks. Within a few minutes, she flew around the hacksite in a big semi-circle, and then headed to a southern wooded ridge about three-quarters of a mile away.
