Peregrine Falcon

The Peregrine Falcon is one of the most ubiquitous bird species with a breeding distribution ranging from tundra to the tropics. In Arctic Alaska this bird’s breeding stronghold is found in major river systems where cliff ledges abound and serve as preferred nesting sites. Peregrine Falcons prey on a wide variety of bird species ranging from small passerines to medium-sized ducks and will also take small mammals (White et al. 2002). This species travels widely and Arctic-breeding Peregrine Falcons make some of the longest migrations of any bird species. The North American subspecies (tundrius) winters in Central and South America (White et al. 2002). The global population is estimated at ~1.2 million individuals (BirdLife International 2012).
