Members of arctic populations (F. p. tundrius) apparently utilize Utah's marshes both as stopping places during migration and, spar- ingly, as wintering grounds. This is suggested by Lincoln's (1933) report of a peregrine banded as a juvenile at King's Point, Yukon Territory, within the geographic range of tundrius on 30 July 1924; by its recovery at Duchesne, Du- chesne Countv', Utah, on 20 February 1925; and by the collection in December of the pre- viously mentioned specimen of tundrius from Famiington Bay. Late summer sightings, which could repre- sent either resident birds or early migrants, have been recorded from several other areas. Twomey (1942) reported peregrines at Hill Creek, 40 miles ( km) south of Ouray, Uintah Coun- ty, on 5 August [1935?], at Strawberr)' Reser- voir, Wasatch County, on 17 August [1935?], and Bchle (1960) recorded the species at Glen Can- von near Wahweep Creek, Mile 17, on 6 August 1958 and at 10,500 feet (3,200 m) on the north slope of Mt. Ellen, Henry Mountains, on 8 September 1957. Finally, a subadult was seen near Park City, Wasatch County, in late August 1959 (M. Nelson and F. Welch, pers. comm.)..
