A peregrine falcon was on the loose at Potter Park Zoo this morning.

Officials were attempting to retrieve the bird on zoo property at about 11:30 a.m.

Zoo staff, volunteers and the Lansing Fire Department have been attempting to find and catch the falcon since it escaped from a handler late Friday afternoon.

A peregrine falcon that had escaped its enclosure is back home at the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing.

Zoo veterinarian and animal curator Tara Harrison tells the Lansing State Journal the wayward bird was located around 6 p.m. Monday.

Some people spotted the falcon and kept him within their sights until zoo staff arrived. The fugitive falcon flew up into a tree, then circled around and eventually landed on a zoo van.

Harrison says "he was pretty hungry." She says staff "had a mouse waiting for him."
