BABY FALCONS are called eyasses.
They are covered by white down when they are born
which is replaced by feathers in three to five weeks.
Although they have a high mortality rate, Peregrines have been known
to live as long as 15 years. They usually begin breeding at about two years old.
These three young are nesting high atop a power plant stack: power
plants have the best production rates in the Midwest.
