Chris Cameron, accompanied by Celeen, an almost 3 year old peregrine falcon, presented some interesting facts about these amazing birds. Peregrine Falcons can fly up to 240 mph. 45% of all birds migrate and that is about 4000 species. In our hemisphere birds migrate north in spring and south in fall seeking food and sex!!!! Some birds actually fly at 37,000 feet - cold and minimal oxygen. Some birds fly 8 days straight over 7000 miles and never stop to eat or sleep. Peregrine falcons mate for life and they always migrate solo and meet their mates at the destination. If their mate is not there, they find sex with someone else. Morro Rock Peregrine falcons do not migrate - plenty of food and plenty of sex there! Chris’s ultimate goal in life is to care for people and to care for the earth.
