Janiich 1953 Falco peregrinus July 28 Point Barrow, Alaska One on a 20' tall pole at A.A.C.S. was seen at 150' and its identification as a duck hawk was to me satisfactory. The black marks on the sides of the face and the bluish back were readily visible. July 31 The duck hawk has been about A.A.C.S. for 3 days now, sometimes perched on poles near insulators. However, twice I have shot at it with buckshot, #9 next smallest available size, but have not secured the specimen. Aug. 3 Duck hawk again on pole near A.A.C.S. It has become rather wary and flies off readily.
