Peregrine falcon surveys and monitoring in the Parkland 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 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.
