LANSING, MI –
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."
