A young male peregrine falcon flies in downtown Richmond shortly after taking flight from a perch high atop one of the Riverfront Plaza buildings.  It is one of three young peregrine falcons that--after being raised for the past 51 days in a cage atop the building--took off on their maiden flights, much to the delight of bird watchers and officials with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
