This week on Santa Cruz Naturalist we talk with Dr. Zeka Glucs, Director of Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group. She tells us about their work with monitoring Peregrine Falcons, how they learn about them, and what sorts of behaviors they exhibit in the wild. Come listen and learn about birds that were once on the brink of extinction and how they are thriving today!

Don’t forget to check their nest cams for live observations of breeding Peregrine falcons during the spring and summer in San Jose and San Francisco.
