Description

The peregrine falcon, a migratory bird of prey once listed as Endangered, is now listed as Threatened in Alberta in recognition of an increasing population and demonstrated improvements in reproductive performance. The goals of this recovery plan include the attainment of a well-distributed, average population of 70 territorial pairs of peregrine falcons in Alberta by 2010. The DRAFT recovery plan outlines the associated outcome, progress measure and recovery action for each strategy.

Peregrine falcon surveys and monitoring in the northeast Boreal region of Alberta, 2001

Description

Due to the widespread use and environmental accumulation of pesticide residues, the peregrine falcon population declined throughout North America during the 1950s and 1960s. Populations of the... More ≫

Description

Due to the widespread use and environmental accumulation of pesticide residues, the peregrine falcon population declined throughout North America during the 1950s and 1960s. Populations of the falcon improved following the ban of DDT in Canada in 1969 and efforts to protect the species. As a result of the population increase, the species was down-listed to Threatened in Alberta in 2000. Throughout the decline and subsequent recovery of peregrines in Alberta, annual monitoring has been an integral component of managing this species. In 2001, it was agreed that annual occupancy and productivity monitoring in three study areas of northern Alberta would be conducted. This report presents results from surveys in the Fort Chipewyan and Edmonton area during the summer of 2001.

Description

Due to the widespread use and environmental accumulation of pesticide residues, the peregrine falcon population declined throughout North America during the 1950s and 1960s. Populations of the falcon improved following the ban of DDT in Canada in 1969 and efforts to protect the species. As a result of the population increase, the species was down-listed from Endangered to Threatened in Alberta in 2000. The Parkland Region of Alberta supports a large percentage of the provincial population. Monitoring of the falcon population was conducted in the summer of 2000 and again in the summer of 2001. The results of the 2001 survey are discussed in this report.

Description

Since 1970 national surveys of the peregrine falcon population have been conducted every five years. Alberta has committed to surveying peregrines on a provincial basis as a component of the national survey. In 2000, Alberta was surveyed comprehensively as part of the 2000 national survey. This report presents the findings of the 2000 survey. Provincially, 48 territorial pairs were located: 23 in the southern Alberta population and 25 pairs in the northern population.

Description

This wildlife status report looks at the anatum subspecies of the peregrine falcon, which is found in Alberta. The peregrine falcon experienced near-extinction in the province, and in North America, due to the indiscriminate use of organochlorine pesticides such as DDT after World War II. However, the species has made a significant comeback in recent years, although it is still listed as endangered in both Canada and Alberta. This report reviews and summarizes information on the status of the anatum peregrine falcon in Alberta, as a step in reviewing the status of the subspecies in the province. This report is part of the Alberta Wildlife Status Report series, which provides comprehensive summaries of selected wildlife species intended to be useful to those managing populations of species and their habitats, and to help identify species that may be formally designated as endangered or threatened.
