Peregrine Falcon Rescue

A tired and injured peregrine falcon seeks refuge on my stairs. Wildlife rescue workers help him.

UPDATE (8/4/07): The peregrine falcon was removed from the endangered species list in 1999 after recovery due to banning of DDT and groups aiding recovery (www.fws.gov/endangered/).
