The Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group (SCPBRG) was formed in 1975 to restore an endangered peregrine falcon population in California. The peregrine falcon was removed from the federal endangered species List in 1999 and we are proud to have played a significant role in that success. It is doubtful that SCPBRG founders Drs. Roush and Norris could ever have imagined the tiny group they formed in response to the near extinction of the peregrine falcon in California would last so long and accomplish so much. Today, we use this legacy of accomplishment to teach, inspire, and involve others in the work of monitoring peregrine falcons in California. Please see our falcon nest cameras, student assembly, and volunteer participation opportunities.
We are grateful for major funding support from Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Oracle Corporation.
