Peregrine Falcons keep Bald Eagles at bay on Triangle Island, a remote island just north of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This is good news for the Common Murres (and their eggs) because while protecting their own territory, the Peregrine Falcons are also protecting the nests of these other birds. Triangle Island is part of the Scott Islands -- over one million seabirds breed here. Environment Canada is working to establish a National Wildlife Area to protect the marine habitat, which these seabirds rely on for food.
