Abstract

We collected migrant and resident prey of Peregrine Falcons in Suriname, Peru, Ecuador, and Costa Rica to determine levels of organochlorine contamination. Resident species usually showed higher DDE levels than migrants, and carnivorous and insectivorous species showed higher DDE levels than omnivorous and granivorous species. Samples from Peru and Ecuador showed the highest organochlorine residue levels.
