Zoo seeks escaped peregrine falcon

LANSING, Mich., Aug. 23 (UPI) -- A Michigan zoo said staff and volunteers are searching for a peregrine falcon last spotted near the facility's duck pond.

Potter Park zookeepers said the falcon escaped from its enclosure at the Lansing facility Friday and was last spotted Saturday at the duck pond, which is about 100 feet away from the bird of prey's enclosure, the Lansing State Journal reported Monday.

Zoo officials said the falcon does not pose a danger to the public but residents who spot the bird should not get too close as they may scare it away.
