1) Why do Peregrines only have three to four eggs? Are they hard to take
care of?

2) When Alyson Cocchiaro was trying to find where her Peregrine Falcon
lived she discovered that in a book it said that Peregrine Falcons only
lived in Baffin Island and Africa, but others in our group found their
Falcons in other parts of the world such as Galapogos Islands, Belize,
Central America and Northern Canada. Why?

3. Does any culture eat Peregrine Falcons or is D.D.T. the reason why they
have disappeared in numbers?
