The goal is provide the research base for measuring inbreeding, outbreeding, genetic variation, changes in occupancy of territories, dispersal of adults and young, success of the different genetic stocks introduced, development of genetic structure in the new Midwestern population, and other topics yet to be thought of. The peregrine blood samples collected over the years uniquely represent the history of the Midwest population. Only a handful of eggs, study skins and skeletons, acquired randomly, have been preserved, in contrast to the nearly full coverage of blood samples saved. Sophisticated as current techniques of blood analysis may seem today, they will be considered primitive in a few years. The blood specimens are in the permanent tissue collections at the Bell Museum of Natural History, University of Minnesota, where they are available for study now or in the future.
41 We need to continue to: PLANS FOR THE FUTURE • Identify all breeders. • Band all wild young produced. • Collect blood from all young and any adults handled. • Appropriately manage pairs nesting on man-made structures. • Monitor the newly-established peregrines on the river cliffs and on suitable cliffs elsewhere in the region. • Collect, coordinate, and circulate information among Midwest peregrine workers through reports, meetings, and regular informal contacts. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Midwest Peregrine Project is a cooperative effort involving many people and organizations. The University of Minnesota provides the overall coordination of the project through Mark Martell of the Raptor Center and Bud Tordoff of the Bell Museum of Natural History and the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. We are able to maintain our database on peregrines, which is the basis of the various reports you receive, through the enthusiastic cooperation of people interested in peregrines in the 13 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces in our area. We thank all of you who have sent us information. We are grateful to those who read parts of an early draft of this report for help in detecting errors and omissions. Please let us know about mistakes that we missed.
