Alberta, has been building up a breedâ€" ing stock since â€"1970. The success of his work and similar work conducted by Tom Cade at Cornell Uniâ€" versity, New York State, will help to determine the fate of the peregrine falcon in eastern North America. In the Algonquin Park experiment, the _ young falcons were placed in a nest box attached to the edge of a cliff face formâ€" erly used by wild pereâ€" grines. The nest box was designed to minimize conâ€" tact with humans. This is necessary to ensure that they remain in a "wild state. The reintroduction tech nique is known as "hacking birds back to the wild", and was originally develâ€" oped by falconers for the purpose _ of establishing birds of prey at desired loâ€" cations. In the Aigonquin project, it is hoped that the birds will come to reâ€" cognize the cliff face as "home‘‘, and â€" eventually breed there. â€" The â€" Algonquin â€" experiâ€" ment faced near disaster when the young falcons were prematurely released from the nest box by thoughtless â€" park â€" users. Fortunately, all but one of the birds remained near the box and continued to feed and roost in the area. Soon Ontario peregrines will be flying south for the first time in many years. Although their destination is unknown, biologists will eagerly await their return to Algonquin next spring. ‘‘Anyone who has been fortunate enough to see.a wild flying peregrine would nthiS Untario Funcral Service Association agree that this is probably release project will eventu grines soaring and swoopâ€" the most beautiful bird in ally give more people the ing in Ontario skies," Mr. action.
