The Peregrine Falcon Why is it endangered? One reason the Peregrine Falcon is considered an endangered species is because of pesticides like DDT. DDT can result in the eggshell thinning, breaking of the egg shell, small amount of hatching ratio, smaller sizes and less breeding. Man is also a factor because nests are being destroyed by cities that keep on expanding. Man also intrudes on breeding sites which causes lower birth ratio. Habitat: There are three places where the Peregrine Fal ...

And, uniquely, there ar ...

The feet are powerful, with long, curved, sharp talons. As the birds drop on their prey, they seize and hold it, tearing it into pieces with the beak. In size th ...
