Description
This book covers the discovery and history of the most northern breeding population of Peregrine Falcons in the world, near Thule Air Base in north-west Greenland (75.9-77.6 degrees N). Although the region was explored by scientific expeditions as early as 1818, Peregrines were not documented in the area until the 1930s. By the early 1990s the population had become well established, with a warming climate enabling Peregrines from further south to expand their breeding range northward. Here Burnham and his co-authors present their comprehensive findings on the biology and ecology of this population based on thirteen years of research from 1993 to 2005.
