Species Account:
I don't know if you folks still keep track of Peregrine eyries in Idaho (when I was a falconer there 40 years ago, you did, but maybe you don't now that they are off the endangered species list). Anyway, I found a Peregrine eyrie about 1/4 mile from an eyrie where I found Prairie Falcons back when I was a falconer. Thought it was interesting that they had taken over historical Prairie habitat. There were almost certainly young in the nest, but I couldn't see into it to count them.
