Peregrines are here! Did you know that by 1956 there were no longer any peregrines in Acadia due to nest robbing, trapping, and shooting followed in the 1950s by ingestion of chemical pesticides and industrial pollutants? They were reintroduced to Acadia in 1984 and the first successful nesting to produce chicks was in 1991. Here are some links with further information about peregrines in Acadia. nps.gov/acad/naturescience/peregrines.htm science.nature.nps.gov/im/units/NETN/Education/Resource%20Briefs/ACAD_RB_peregrines_FINAL_20090729c.pdf nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/upload/peregrine.pdf
