The Peregrine Falcon - Le Faucon Pèlerin

Folks from the Canadian Peregrine Foundation offered us a very informative presentation on one of Ontario's endangered species - the Peregrine Falcon. We learned of conservation issues including:

• bioaccumulation of chemicals (esp. DDT)


• lack of suitable nesting sites


• conservation laws


• the effects of low peregrine populations

See the Peregrines nested here in Ottawa atop the Crown Plaza.
