TALLULAH FALLS — A pair of peregrine falcons has built a nest and appears to be raising chicks again this year at Tallulah Gorge State Park. Last year was the first time in nearly 75 years that a peregrine nest in a natural setting had been spotted in Georgia. Park officials are welcoming hikers to observe the raptors from overlooks; however, rock climbing has been suspended while the chicks, which are called eyasses, grow and fledge.“We are encouraged that they’ve returned to Tallulah Gorge for a second year,” park manager Danny Tatum said.
