Description
Summary:"The central west coast of the Baja California peninsula was an important Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) reeding area supporting a population of about 13 breeding pairs. This population declined drastically during the 1960s and early 1970s.We conducted field surveys and compiled data on nesting Peregrine pairs from 1980-94 to address the current status of the Baja population. We found 10 pairs nesting in the area indicating the Peregrine population has recovered in the area since the late 1970s. Due to increased human activity in the area, proper management is needed to provide suitable nesting sites and to minimize human disturbances during the nesting season."
