The young Peregrines are being held at WPZ for the short-term until a
suitable breeder (either someone with experience raising young Peregrines
or someone with adults which can "foster" raise the birds) is located in
the vicinity. The developing plan is to release the birds into the wild
in approximately 5 weeks. It may occur at a wild eyrie or possibly back
in downtown Seattle. There are still a lot of details to work out. We'll
keep you posted, or call the hotline for news 517-9513.
