Acadia National Park Trails Close Due To Nesting Peregrine Falcons
The birds are once again getting ready to nest within certain areas of Acadia National Park and they soon will be defending their young and their territory.
Officials with Acadia National Park have informed us that beginning today, the Jordan Cliffs Trail, Precipice Trail, and a portion of the Orange & Black Path will close to public entry until further notice, as peregrine falcons engage in courtship and will soon raise their young and protect them by dive-bombing any pending threat.
According to a press release, "The National Park Service has closed the cliffs and associated trails to public entry to protect the peregrine falcons from inadvertent disturbance or harassment during the nesting period."
