The Peregrine Falcon – Fastest Animal in the World!

Please join volunteer naturalist Don Endicott to learn about Peregrine Falcons, the fastest animal on Earth! Don will talk about the Peregrine’s highly specialized physical features and aerial skills, adaptations required for successfully capturing prey while reaching speeds over 200 miles an hour. Their natural history, courtship behaviors, and remarkable comeback from near extinction in the mid-1960s will also be discussed. Featured throughout the talk is a selection of Don’s photographs taken as a volunteer nest site monitor supporting banding at Cabrillo National Monument for the past nine seasons.
