A Successful Example of Human and Animals Sharing Habitat…Er, Wait, Nevermind
By Rocky Thompson on June 30th, 2010
Peregrine falcons who’d resorted to building their nest 41 floors up Rhodes Tower spread their wings and took their first flight lesson. Or at least one of them did. Five-week-old Swoop hit the sidewalk just east of the building, abruptly ending his first flying lesson and life. Fortunately, Swoop timed his death to coincide with the lunch rush, so people in downtown Columbus had something to ponder while eating at Big Bowl.
That’s horrible news! But I guess it’s something that’s bound to happen if you’re trying to learn to fly 41 stories above the street.
