5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and valuable contribution to the understanding of the magnificent Peregrine Falcon, May 18, 2008

By	Michael L. Baird "morro-bay.com editor" (Morro Bay, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Steve Schubert's "The Peregrine Falcons of Morro Rock - A 40-year History - 1967 - 2007" is a unique and valuable contribution to the understanding of the magnificent Peregrine Falcon. Morro Bay, CA has a dedicated, some might say obsessive, subculture of admirers and Peregrine Falcon enthusiasts. Every day one can see people checking out the "south" and the "east" nests or aeries on Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA. It brings to mind "Pale Male" the now worldwide known Red-tailed hawk in New York. Several Yahoo! Groups and websites are dedicated to reporting on just the Peregrine Falcons of Morro Rock at Morro Bay, CA, that Steve reports on. Steve Schubert is easily recognized as the area's most expert and involved individual in the recovery, preservation, conservation, study, and understanding of these unique and captivating raptors. Years of research, observations, and photographic documentation are included in this comprehensive document. Steve had earlier published locally some interim studies, but this is the first comprehensive, up-to-date, book on the subject finally widely available to the layman and scientist worldwide. Steve works outdoors with kids at Camp KEEP (Kern Environmental Education Program) in California's Montaņa de Oro State Park, where he has for many years now instilled the love of nature and fascination with hands-on nature observation that is clearly reflected in this work. Spend a few hours reading this book, and explore the exciting history and current status of Morro Rock's Peregrine Falcons with this expert who loves his work - you will not be disappointed.
