T. Cade 1954 2 Falco peregrinus 18 June Unmist, Alaska I went up by the sandstone outcrops by the oil well, where peregrines came a few days ago. It was very quiet and no birds in evidence. I fired at .22 shot up cevros fears of most like by looking work. After several records, the falcon flew wildly out from another ledge closer to the well, and perched in a large willow tree near by on the slope. I walked up and examined all the likely places but could find no egg. The falcon allowed me to get within 50 yds before she flew off to another perch. She was not like bent to leave the area, but did not dive or scream at me. The talon was not around. 19 June 1100 - Falcon seen perched in the willow tree again. 28 June Checked this whole area very thoroughly for an awhile. Found none, indeed, did not even see the falcon this time.
