Enderson, J. H. (1974). Status of the Peregrine
Falcon in the Rocky Mountains in 1973. Auk 91: 727-736.
Abstract
Factors responsible for an apparent decline in the numbers
of peregrine falcons in the central Rocky Mountains is discussed. Pesticides
appear to be the major factor; human disturbance such as rock climbing,
picnicking, and highways may be important locally but are widespread enough
to explain the general decline.
