Peregrine Falcon Monitoring in the Bitterroot

By Marrea Matthews

Once again it is time to make room on your calendar for Peregrine Falcon Monitoring in the Bitterroot (PEFA) monitoring.  The first monitoring for occupancy generally occurs between late March to early May.  Last year, most reports of occupancy occurred in April.  

Dave Lockman, retired BNF Wildlife Biologist, will conduct monitoring training via Zoom March 13, 2024 at 4PM.  Dave established the Watch Territories of the Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountains decades ago and has continued working closely with Jay Sumner and the Montana Peregrine Institute. 

Further, limited data indicate that the migratory destinations of many Peregrines lie south of the American border in regions of the world where regulation of pesticides, including the 

chlorinated hydrocarbons, is virtually unknown. Plainly, immediately identifying any major downward flux in populations is crucial, lest infamous history repeat itself.
