Abstract

Eastern Hudson Bay breeding distribution of the peregrine falcon is poorly documented. We report the observation of immature falcons and behaviour of adult birds that strongly suggest the existence of a breeding population of peregrine falcons on islands near the Nastapoka River.

Key words: nesting, peregrine falcon, Falco peregrinus, Nastapoka Islands
