A Successful Example of Human and Animals Sharing Habitat…Er, Wait, Nevermind
Peregrine falcons who’d resorted to building their nest 41 floors up Rhodes Tower spread their wings and took their first flight lesson. Or at least one of them did. Five-week-old Swoop hit the sidewalk just east of the building, abruptly ending his first flying lesson and life. Fortunately, Swoop timed his death to coincide [...]
