FREE EVENT - Registration and more info HERE

Jonathan Meiburg, author of A Most Remarkable Creature: The Hidden Life of the World's Smartest Birds of Prey, shares the strange fate of the Guadalupe Caracara, a weird and striking scavenger that remains the only bird of prey to be driven to extinction by humans since the 19th century. See rare images of preserved specimens of this odd and handsome bird and learn about its life on a remote island off the coast of Baja California, its interactions with people, its still-living relatives, and its brief adventures among colorful and unscrupulous humans in rough-and-tumble San Diego.
