Peregrine Falcon Family 3 - Fledged

The young peregrine falcons will remain around the nesting area for several months following the fledge. Most of them never revist the nest they grow up. I only observed one time a juvenile took the food back to the nest to enjoy and another came to grab. The parents still provde food for them and train them the hunting skills. Then the parents will drive them away from the area, the parents-Chidren relations end from that day.
