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.
