Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! Patti Blumin, Len Blumin, Don Reinberg, and Leslie Flint are the "Bluebirds" for the 2009 PRBO Bird-A-Thon. Peregrine Falcons were once endangered by human activity, when widespread use of DDT caused decreased breeding success in many avian species. Peregrines have since made a good recovery and now seen widely.. Rich Stallcup found these Peregrine chicks for our group on a visit to Pt. Reyes "Outer Point", where Rich cut his "birding teeth" as a younster some decades ago.
Rich went on to help found the Pt. Reyes Bird Observatory, which started as a spartan outpost in the hinterlands, and has grown through the years to become a leading player in Conservation Science. Visit their website at www.PRBO.org and learn more about the incredible and diverse efforts being made by PRBO to monitor and conserve wildlife resources, both here and abroad.
