These are the most migratory of the worldÕs falcons the adults heading to Patagonia in southern South America for the winter before returning to its high Arctic breeding grounds in Greenland on an annual basis. That is a minimum of a 20 thousand mile annual commute and some huge open water crossings!! Cape Cod Times Title: Re: Peregrine Juvie by E.
