Abstract

Peregrine falcons were never numerous relative to most other avian species, however, many historic nesting sites are known. In the Rocky Mountains approximately 50% of these sites exist in National Parks and Monuments. This year The Peregrine Fund, in cooperation with the Wyoming Game and Fish, Grand Teton National Park, and Bridger-Teton National Forest began restoration of the species in the Tetons. Three release sites were selected on high cliffs overlooking Jackson and Phelps Lakes in Grand Teton National Park.
