Central California Bald Eagles with Glenn Stewart

The peregrine falcons of San Jose City Hall have increased interest in birds of prey among community members. Join UC Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group Director and author of the new book, Eye to Eye with Eagles Hawks and Falcons, Glenn Stewart, for a first-hand description of how he and his team mounted an expedition to bring bald eagles to Big Sur and the greater Bay Area. A pictorial lecture will illustrate how they used boats and helicopters to collect eaglets from a very remote part of British Columbia and brought them to the Ventana Wilderness Area of Big Sur to foster them to wild independence. A brief peregrine falcon Fledge-Watch training will follow the talk.
