Joe & Alexis Truitt • Erin Curran-Tileston • Linda Schaefers • Des Runner • Andrew P. Creighton
Nike came into human care in Long Beach Peninsula in Washington in February 2005. She was transferred to Cascades Raptor Center in March of 2005.
Durante el día, es común ver a Nike “remar con el ala”, batiendo vigorosamente sus alas sobre su percha. Éste es un comportamiento común entre las aves rapaces, especialmente halcones, para desarrollar los músculos y mantenerse en buena condición física.
Gyrfalcons (pronounced JEER-falcon) are primarily an Arctic species but can sometimes be found overwintering farther south. They are the largest falcon in the world and one of the fastest raptors in level flight, able to reach speeds of 70 miles per hour.
