AbstractWe collected prey remains from 25 Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) territories across Arizona from 1977 to 1988 yielding 58 eyrie-years of data. Along with 793 individual birds (107 species and six additional genera), we found seven mammals and nine insects. In addition, two nestling peregrines were consumed. We found a larger dependence upon White-throated Swifts (Aeronautes saxatalis) and birds on migration in northern Arizona, while in southeastern and central Arizona average prey mass was greater and columbiforms formed the largest dietary component. In northern, central, and southeastern Arizona, 74, 66, and 56 avian prey taxa, respectively, were recorded. We used capture-recapture modeling to estimate totals of 111 ± 9.5, 113 ± 10.5, and 86 ± 7.9 (SE) avian taxa taken in these same three areas. These values are counterintuitive inasmuch as the southeast has the richest avifauna. For the entire study area, 156 ± 9.3 avian taxa were estimated to be taken by peregrines.Dieta Estival de Falco peregrinus en Arizona Comparando Zonas Ricas y Pobres en Avifauna Mediante un Modelo de Captura-RecapturaResumen. Desde 1977 a 1988 colectamos restos de presas en 58 nidos de Falco peregrinus a través de Arizona. Conjuntamente con 793 aves individuales (107 especies y seis géneros adicionales), encontramos siete mamíferos y nueve insectos. Además, fueron consumidos dos pichones de Falco peregrinus. En la zona norte encontramos una mayor dependencia sobre Aeronautes saxatalis y aves en migración, mientras que en las zonas sureste y central la masa promedio de presa fue más grande y los columbiformes constituyeron el componente principal de la dieta de Falco peregrinus. En las zonas norte, central y sureste se registraron 74, 66 y 56 taxa de aves presa, respectivamente. Para estimar el número total de taxa capturados por Falco peregrinus usamos un modelo de captura-recaptura. Los valores calculados fueron 111 ± 9.5, 113 ± 10.5 y 86 ± 7.9 (EE) taxa para las zonas norte, central y sureste, respectivamente. Estos valores no reflejan los que esperábamos, ya que la zona sureste tuvo una avifauna más rica. Se estimó que 156 ± 9.3 taxa fueron capturados por Falco peregrinus en la totalidad del área de estudio.

The beta member (Brew, 1970) of the Naco Formation at Kohl Ranch, central Arizona, has yielded an extensive invertebrate fauna and has been a collecting site for amateurs and paleontology classes for many years. Brew and Beus (1976) documented a diverse fauna of brachiopods, bivalves, gastropods, crinoids, and a conularid and dated it as Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) in age. In addition, Webster (1981) has described the crinoids, and undescribed bryozoans, nautiloids, edrioasteroids, and sharks have been collected from the locality. Despite the unusual diversity and abundance of the invertebrates at this locality, there is almost no evidence of predation. Many of the biconvex brachiopods show unrepaired crushing similar to that reported by Alexander (1981) in a similar brachiopod fauna from the Upper Mississippian (Chesterian) Chainman Shale of west-central Utah. This damage was attributed to predation by durophagous sharks by Alexander; however, work by Elliott and Bounds (1987) suggests that in the Naco Formation, at least, this damage was more likely to have been caused by lithification of the surrounding sediments. However, one brachiopod from the Kohl Ranch locality does show repaired damage to both valves that was clearly caused by the unsuccessful attack of a predator. This specimen has been deposited at the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA N8036).
