Yosemite Peregrines: A Story of Hope

What is faster than a Formula 1 race car, can see a snack sized meal up to a mile away, and is exquisitely equipped for vertical cliffs and pinnacles? The peregrine falcon thrives in Yosemite Valley, but this remarkable bird was temporarily extirpated from much of its native range, including Yosemite where it disappeared for decades, leading to its listing as an endangered species in the early 1970s. In an era fraught with what often feels like insurmountable challenges, what does it mean to keep trying? Because of the remarkable, collaborative efforts of Yosemite climbers, UCSC Predatory Bird Research Group, and NPS biologists, with generous funding from the Yosemite Conservancy, the story of Yosemite’s peregrine falcon is one of hope.

This is wonderful news. Thanks from Australia, where peregrine falcons have been raising chicks on a highrise building in Melbourne :)
