This month’s BCAS program will feature falcon expert and conservation
educator Perry Conway. Perry’s presentation will concentrate on the six
falcon species found in North America, with details on their natural
history and evolution supported by stunning photographs to accompany his
stories. Perry will provide details of his experiences with captive
raptors, as well as aspects of training the birds for falconry and school
presentations. He will give an intimate view into the birds’ behavior,
habitat needs, and natural history.
Did you know…
Peregrine falcons have recovered strongly in Colorado after severe declines
in the mid-1900s caused by pesticides like DDT. In Boulder County’s
foothills, these cliff-nesting raptors are considered a successful
conservation comeback. In fact, several Boulder County open space and
climbing areas, including parts of the Flatirons and Boulder Canyon, are
closed from Feb. 1 through July 31, 2026, to protect nesting peregrine
falcons and raptors.
Is the Peregrine Falcon really the fastest bird on earth?
