Abstract High (maximum of 4.1 ppm lipid weight) levels of BDE‐209 and other higher brominated diphenyl ethers (BDEs) found in California, USA, peregrine falcon ( Falco peregrinus ) eggs (n = 95) provided an opportunity to examine homolog profiles of nona‐, octa‐, and hepta‐BDEs as possible evidence...
