The Connecticut Audubon Society in Fairfield rehabilitates injured birds and releases them back into the wild. Birds like Phantom, the Peregrine Falcon who was electricuted on a power line.

Deb Galasso of the Audubon Society showed off Phantom to families attending a live bird show at Webb Mountain Discovery Zone Saturday.

Peregrine Falcons can fly up to 273 mph and they prefer to eat smaller birds, according to Galasso.
