Peregrine Falcons at Harpers Ferry - U.S. National Park Service
Two of the three peregrine falcon fledglings from 2023 sit atop a bridge superstructure. Three peregrine falcon chicks successfully took their first flights from the cliffs of Maryland Heights at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP) in 2023.
