Sex in the City: Breeding Behavior of Urban Peregrine Falcons in the Midwestern US.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Caballero Isabel C, Bates John M, Hennen Mary, Ashley Mary V

Abstract excerpt

Peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) were extirpated from most of the continental United States by widespread use of the pesticide DDT in the 1960s. Populations have rebounded with banning of the pesticide and successful implementation of captive breeding and hacking programs. An essentially new population of Midwestern peregrines now exists that is comprised almost entirely of urban-nesting birds. The new...
