****   

'The research as presented in this volume proves conclusively that peregrine falcons as a species are not now nor ever were in the least endangered... The publication of this book highlights a contemporary wildlife-research paradox. The endangered listing of peregrine falcons was openly exploited through all manner of publicity for twenty years as a fundraiser by the Peregrine Fund and (in Canada) by World Wildlife Fund for peregrine research, which has now proved the listing should never have been made... is interesting and informative reading when read with the kind of scepticism that separates science from advocacy, of which latter there is plenty, deliberately and skillfully blended... The editors do insist on having the last word on anything controversial, thus chiding and then correcting the British European dissenting view concerning the chemicals aldrin, dieldrin, and heptachlor.'   F. L. Beebe, 'The Compleat Falconer'

A definitive work on the peregrine falcon. There is no way around this volume if you want to learn about the biology of the peregrine. Outstanding!   Jakob E. Borch

Cortisol and aldosterone comparisons of cottontail rabbits collected by shooting, trapping, and falconry
Article in: Journal of Wildlife Diseases; vol. 21 (1985); iss. 1; pp. 40-42

****   Abstract: Cortisol and aldosterone levels were measured in plasma of eastern cottontail rabbits collected by three different method, i.e. shooting, live-trapping and falconry. Cortisol levels ranged from near 0 to 27,5 mikrograms/100 ml and aldosterone from near 0 to 220 ng/100 ml. Shot animals had significangly lower cortisol concentrations than those taken by either of the other methods. Trapped cottontails also had significantly lower aldosterone levels.

Falconry Position Statement
In: Wingspan; vol. 6 (1997); iss. 1; pp. 4-5

****   "...The issues discussed in the international debate on falconry are all dealt with: Capture of wild raptors - which is legal in the US and several european countries, captive propagation, hybridization of different species, identification of individual birds and their parentage and control and surveillance of falconry.
   The scientific litterature excisting on the issues have been reviewed and the RFF concludes that falconry if properly managed is an ecologically sound practice."

Final environmental assessment - Falconry and raptor propagation regulations
Publ.: USF&WS
Year and place: 1988
ISBN: -

****   'Abstract: The Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to amend 50 CFR 21, Sections 21.28 - 21.30 to establish simpler, less restrictive regulations governing the use of most raptors. Both falconry and raptor propagation are small scale activities having little or no impact on raptor populations. Recent data indicate that most raptor populations have increased considerably from lows reached in the early 1970s at the end of a long period when use of harmful pesticides was widespread. The degree of regulation imposed by the federal regulations governing falconry (1976) appears to be unnecessary for most species. For the peregrine falcon, however, the Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to retain restrictive regulations.'
