Parental care of peregrine falcons in interior Alaska and the effects of low-altitude jet overflights

Creator:

Palmer, Angela G.

Abstract:

To assess the impact of low-altitude jet overflights on parental care, we examined nest attendance, time-activity budgets, and provisioning rates of 21 Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) pairs breeding along the Tanana River, Alaska in 1995 and 1996. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors influenced attributes of nesting behavior. Female nest attendance...

Effects of jet aircraft overflights and other potential disturbances on behavioral responses and productivity of nesting peregrine falcons

Creator:

Nordmeyer, Dana L.

Abstract:

In order to examine the potential impact of military jet overflights and other disturbances on productivity of peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus), we observed behavioral reactions of peregrines to disturbances at nests along the Tanana River, Alaska during the 1995-1997 breeding seasons. Military jets conducted low-altitude flights over a sample of...
