What subspecies of peregrine falcon are native to North America?
There are three subspecies nesting in North America, the Arctic peregrine falcon ( Falco 2 peregrinus tundrius) nests on the north slope of Alaska east across northern Canada to Greenland, and winters in Latin America: the Peale’s peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus peali) is a year-round resident on the coasts of Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska north to the Aleutian Islands. The American peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum) nests in southern Alaska, Canada, United States and northern Mexico. Peregrine falcons that nest in subarctic areas generally winter in South America, while those that nest at lower latitudes exhibit variable migratory behavior. Some are nonmigratory.
