Russ Place photographed this peregrine falcon consuming a pigeon in Hudson. In one of the photos the falcon's bands are visible. Peregrine falcons are fitted with metal leg bands to provide researchers with valuable data on peregrine survival rates, dispersal distances, and population growth rates. MassWildlife shared that this male bird fledged from its nest at a quarry in Woburn on June 29, 2020 and has been seen in Woburn, Waltham, Somerville, Medford, and now Hudson.
