The project began in 1972 when 9 active cliffs were located by Burnham and Mattox and 13 nestlings banded (see Arctic 25(4):308-11 and 27(1):71-74 for background and preliminary reports of the first two years of the project). The project has banded 103 peregrine falcons (1972-78) of which 80 were color banded (red). All were banded as nestlings in the study area (66 " 45 '- 67 " 15' N, 50 "- 52 " W) except three nestlings banded on Disko in 1974, one migrant HY male at Frederikshzlb in 1975, and one AHY female banded in the study area in 1975. Of the 103 peregrines banded since 1972, four have been recovered (3.88%). Two banded falcons were trapped and released by autumn
