Childs 1957 peregrinus Falco peregrinus 20 June Pitmea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska. A roosty and probable nest site was found in cliff 2 miles up river. One bird was seen in distance pursued by Long-tail jaeger! 22 June Cantler could see me nesting in cliff mentioned above. 27 June Although I did not go to the nest, I could hear the young calling about 1 mile away. It sounded like a Raven. Adults not seen. 28 June Drew saw both parents at nest. 29 June I finally got a fair look at these birds and there is no doubt as to identify as adult Hawks. The confusion noted above about the sound was due to the fact that there is a ravens' nest about 20 away. Neither parent came close during the several hours that we were in the vicinity. 10 July One seen along coast to west about 3 miles 15 July Watched an adult falcon fly its way up river with 2 Long-tail Jaegers in pursuit. The jaegers seemed to be able to out-maneuver the hawk with ease and still lodged it. 28 July 20 miles SE Cape Sabine (?) Flushed one along river cut. 23 July 16 min "" "" Found nest about 75' up on river bluff 4 young. Collected 2. 9-hat but not killed. 3 squirrels, several L.T. jaegers and Goldenplover remains in nest. Species put out 12 miles SE Cape Sabine. Found another nest. One young, not food identified. Another young dead, found on bluff top. [illegible]
