For those interested in seeing the Peregrine Falcons "up close," Docents Dr. Curt Beebe
and Sandra Beebe are frequently at the main Morro Rock parking lot on Saturday or Sunday mornings,
with the Natural History Museum's 8" Celestron telescope. You are invited to
participate, and view the birds with Curt and Sandra.
