The male shown in the video above, filmed at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, was in the process of gathering nesting material for what usually adds up to a dozen to two dozen nests! Obviously, our National Wildlife Refuge System is one of our most cherished environmental treasures. Why do they build so many nests?

Peregrine Falcon at Delevan National Wildlife Refuge. Peregrine Falcon from Sacramento NWR auto loop. This may be the method this Peregrine had used before I spotted it from the Sacramento NWR auto loop. Just recently I spotted two Peregrine Falcons at Sacramento NWR while traveling the six mile auto loop.
