Summary
Description
The primary objective of the study was to locate peregrine falcon nesting sites and to locate nest sites of other raptor species and assess their location in relation to potential disturbance from public use on the river. Additionally, we attempted to 1 gather productivity formation on each site encountered; 2 collect and identify prey remains found in nests; 3 band nestlings where possible; 4 observe and determine the origin of the banded adult peregrine photographed along the Noatak in 1985; and 5 establish a map and photographic file for all raptor nest sites encountered. Observations of all other birds and mammals were also recorded.
