A population of 95 peregrine falcons are the primary predators of a local pigeon populations. The pigeons have a population size of
1,300 and a birth rate of 0.38 per year. The predation rate of falcons
on pigeons is 0.004, and the falcons have an efficiency rate of
0.0002 per prey. A population of 10 eagles are the main predator of
the falcons with a predation rate of 0.002 and an efficiency rate of
0.0003. How many peregrine falcons do you expect to observe in
this population one year from now? Assume that all falcon deaths
result from being eaten by eagles and that all falcon births rely on
falcons eating pigeons. Round your final answer to the nearest whole
number.
