Original Toronto Star caption: Skyraker's ready for take-off. Collisions between birds and aircraft can be deadly; so Pearson International Airport takes its falconry program very seriously. Raptors like Sky Raker; shown with falconer Dominic DiCarlo; are key to Pearson's low bird strike rate. Skyraker is assisted in the falcon patrol by three other peregrines; a gyrfalcon and a prairie falcon.
