Occupied Territory - a territory where either a pair of Peregrines is present (two adults or an adult/subadult mixed
pair), or there is evidence of reproduction [e.g., one adult is observed sitting low in the nest, eggs or young are seen,
or food is delivered into eyrie (nest site)]. Occupancy for a territory must be established for at least one of two, and
possibly more, 4-hour site visits. Occupancy within a region is the number of occupied territories divided by the
number of territories that were checked for occupancy.
Nest Success - the proportion of occupied territories in a monitoring region in which one or more young $ 28 days
old is observed, with age determined following guidelines in Cade et al. (1996).
Productivity - the number of young observed at $ 28 days old per occupied territory, averaged across a monitoring
region.
