Peregrine Falcon Nesting Site at Acadia National Park

Detailed Description

This rock outcropping was used as a nest by peregrine falcons during the 2014 nesting season. Peregrine falcons typically nest in a scrape, or a small depression, often in rocky cliffsides like this one. This scrape is near the Precipice Trailhead in Acadia National Park.
