    The document discusses peregrine falcons, including how their numbers decreased due to DDT in the 1950s but have since rebounded due to conservation efforts like the Peregrine Fund releasing birds in 1974. It notes that cities provide peregrines with food and nesting sites, benefiting residents by attracting tourism and reducing pigeon populations, and that peregrine numbers in New York City are predicted to double, though risks in urban areas include problems hearing other birds amid noise, finding smaller birds, collisions with glass or power lines.
