Falconidae Falco peregrinus (MGT): occurs in all regions of the world and is migratory in only part of its distribution. In Brazil, it occurs as a migrant (White et al., 1994) originating from breeding areas in the Northern Hemisphere. Individuals banded in the USA, Canada and on the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon on the Canadian coast mainly between April and October were recovered in 16 Brazilian states between November and March, especially SP, PR and RS (Mestre et al., 2010). This species can be seen along the Amazon River and its main tributaries during the boreal winter from October to May (Stotz et al., 1992; Costa et al., 2011; Melo et al., 2011) and in PA in October, November (Silva, 2011c; MPEG) and March (Silva, 2011b). It was recorded in northern Cantão State Park/TO in April, when it was probably returning to the Nearctic region for the start of the next breeding season, using the Araguaia River channel as flyway (Pinheiro & Dornas, 2009; Dornas & Pinheiro, 2011). There are also records in November for the region of Banco dos Cajuais/CE-RN (Girão & Albano, 2011a), for CE from October to May, for RN and SE from November to March (Sousa, 2011; WikiAves, 2016), in BA from December and January (MZUSP) and for RJ, SP, PR, SC and RS from October to April (Belton, 1984; WikiAves, 2016; MNRJ; MZUSP).
