A fledgling peregrine falcon that went missing last week has been located.
Kodak is one of three peregrine falcons to hatch in the Times Square Building nest this past spring. On Thursday she made her first flight and hadn't been seen since. But Monday, she showed up walking on the ground near the Constellation Brands building a block away from the nest.
Falcon watchers with the Genesee Valley Audubon Society captured Kodak and are taking her to the Department of Environmental Conservation for an assessment, said June Summers, the organization's president. She added that it is likely Kodak hadn't eaten for a several days and might have to go to a wildlife rehabilitation specialist to put on a few ounces.
Fledgling peregrine falcons generally stay near their nests during their first flights, a time when they still depend on their parents for food.
