Peregrine falcon populations along the upper Yukon River were surveyed from June 10 - August 3, 1966, to gather data on pesticide residues in this population. Concurrent with the peregrine falcon study, notes on other bird species encountered were gathered. This report summarizes data on the birds encountered during this study and makes reference to historical sightings by other investigators.
