HAMPTON, VA. — A peregrine falcon that's recovered from injuries to an eye and wing will be released at the Grandview Nature Preserve this week.
The Wildlife Center of Virginia says the peregrine is likely a southbound migrant from New England, Canada or Greenland. The bird was thin, its right eye was injured and its left wing was missing some feathers when it was found near Quinby in Accomack County in mid-November.
The peregrine will be released at 1 p.m. Tuesday.
