  • Gardening for Birds of Prey – Lessons from the Urban Raptors

    In recent years, a pair of Bald Eagles built a nest in Mountain View Cemetery and on an Alameda golf course. Peregrine Falcons call the Campanile home along with other buildings and bridges in the region. Dozens of Osprey nests line the East Bay shoreline from Hayward to Vallejo. And as many as eight other raptor species are nesting in our municipal midst! Isn’t this wonderful?

    Well — yes and no. City living isn’t always a bed of roses for a Red-tailed Hawk. Come learn the real stories about the lives of our East Bay raptors, about their feats and fiascos. How might we all do a better job of city-planning, and even gardening, for birds of prey?
