Information is again needed  on raptors nesting  in urban areas and parks within Orange County.  For the past several years, Scott Thomas has been working with a  group of enthusiastic  volunteers collecting data on nesting raptors throughout the county.   As a volunteer under the direction of Pete Bloom, he has been helping to develop a better understanding of urban raptor populations.  If you are interested  in monitoring  nesting  raptors  or  if you  have any  information on them,   please e-mail  Scott Thomas at     or mail him the information at  24911 Hayuco, Mission Viejo CA 92692.    A copy of the monitoring form, on which to record your observations on a nesting owl, hawk, or falcon is below for your to print, fill out, and mail to Scott.
