In case you haven’t noticed, the East Bay has gone to the birds—and we mean that in the best way possible Bald Eagles raised chicks in Piedmont last summer, and before that, nested on a golf course in Alameda, perhaps perfecting their short game . Peregrine Falcons have claimed the Campanile as their castle, and Ospreys have turned the East Bay shoreline into beach front real estate—from Hayward to Vallejo Meanwhile, Red-tailed and Cooper’s Hawks and Barn Owls and a half dozen other raptor species are trying to make city life work, one power pole and pigeon snack at a time

Join us for a fascinating, engaging and feather-filled evening with Berkeley resident and veteran raptor biologist Allen Fish, who has been studying birds of prey across California (and beyond) for more than 40 years . Hear about high-speed chases, family drama, and near-miraculous survival stories from buildings, bridges, and backyard trees All levels of bird nerds are invited to this unique TED talk with talons we guarantee you will leave with a new appreciation for our wild neighbors overhead Min: 10; Max: 60
