The peregrine is pretty clearly what Cyril Coldwell used to call "duck hawk", which we now take to refer to the Falco peregrinus anatum subspecies, which was in very short supply when the captive breeding got under way -- thus many of the more abundant northern "tundrius" form were used, and the technology was gotten largely from falconry and by using the wester relative, the prairie falcon, as a model for learning the techniques of captive breeding. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
