Not sure what the status is here in Canada, or regionally. ? “While Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and other raptor species have rebounded in North America since the banning of DDT in the 1970s, American Kestrel numbers have continued to drop, plunging by an estimated 50 percent. Although the birds are still common, the decrease has scientists worried. No one knows exactly what’s driving the losses or where the birds are running into trouble—making it difficult to figure out how to stop or reverse the trend.” Pamela Zevit RPBio \| Biodiversity Conservation Planner ?
