    Peregrine Falcon Observations Generalized ds2968

    Metadata Updated: February 23, 2026

    The Peregrine Falcon Observations Database is a product of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's (CDFW's) Wildlife Branch and Biogeographic Data Branch. It was created by the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group (https://pbrg.pbsci.ucsc.edu/) then managed privately for a time. CDFW took ownership in 2011. The records generally represent peregrine falcons (PEFA, Falco peregrinus) nesting, perching, and flying. Additional information about the falcon, the database, and submitting data can be found on CDFW’s American Peregrine Falcons in California Webpage: https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Birds/Peregrine-Falcon.

    This dataset represents observed nest locations for peregrine falcons, generalized to a USGS 7.5 minute topographic quad level. If you need more specific location information, please contact the listed point of contact in the metadata.
