Portland's Peregrine Falcons
Peregrine falcons, once one of the most endangered species on earth, have been making a phenomenal comeback since 1972 when they were listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Audubon Society of Portland has worked since 1994 to develop a program to provide monitoring, research, management and educational outreach for the growing population of peregrines nesting in downtown Portland.
