Habitat for the peregrine is closely associated with the nest territory and their foraging areas. Owing to factors relating to the imperative of protecting nesting sites, peregrines tend remain in the Channel Islands for life. Although the numbers are not large, historic evidence shows that the peregrine was sparsely distributed on the islands. Within Channel Islands National Park, a 2011 survey revealed that peregrine falcons are found on all five islands in the park. The peregrine is found on all continents except Antarctica and on many oceanic islands.
