When the banding effort begins,
the peregrine parents will let out ear -piercing screeches as they swoop and
dive past the scientists at speeds that could reach 200 mph .

Hopeland Road on the Lancaster/Lebanon county line, two miles south of

peregrine nests which are typically located on sheer cliffs. Last year, the peregrine couple
successfully hatched two baby chicks.
