Falco peregrinus
Table Mountain National Park is among the areas where the Peregrine Falcon is recorded, with records concentrating in the United States, Canada, Belgium, Norway, and Taiwan. The atlas holds about 730,000 open records of this bird from 15 countries. Because the mapping is partial, the map indicates where these records concentrate rather than the full range of Falco peregrinus.
Since this species is recorded in both the northern and southern hemispheres, the months it is recorded differ by region, and each place page shows the local timing.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Peregrine Falcon as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
