Endangered Peregrine Falcon in Fundy National Park
The endangered Peregrine Falcon was extirpated from the Fundy region around 1950. Parks Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Service initiated the re-introduction of the Peregrine in 1982. Over a period of six years, 55 peregrines were released from two sites within the National Park. Conservation Officers would monitor the cliffs where nesting was most likely to occur.
By nature's timetable, it is too soon to claim success, but breeding pairs have been sighted along the coast, and park staff have even been able to observe fledglings in a nest just outside the Park 's eastern boundary. |

| Hovering about 15 metres above the rushing water, then suddenly dropping straight down, its wings half spread, its sharp, curved claws stretched forward, the Osprey disappears beneath the surface with a resounding splash. Moments later, it reappears, quickly rising to the first available perch to tear its slippery piscine prey to pieces |

| The park is comprised of two eco-regions - the Bay of Fundy spruce-fir coastal zone, and the maritime uplands sugar maple-yellow birch-fir zone. Hike in the park to explore a variety of habitats, from a coniferous stand, past a beaver pond, across one of the few bogs in Fundy National Park and back through a hardwood ridge; and, each area has its own variety of plants and birds to observe. |
