BRYAN EATON/Staff Photo. Former biology teacher at Triton Regional High School Dave Taylor releases a peregrine falcon at the parking lot at the Wilkinson Bridge on the Plum Island Turnpike. The raptor was found in the Merrimack River near the old Black Cow possibly chasing a pigeon, when it hit the water soaking its down feathers preventing it from flying.
