Return of the Peregrine

Our March SPFGA Naturalist Series session is a talk about management and recovery of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum) in Canada on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at the clubhouse, starting at 1:00 p.m.

Back by popular demand, Gordon Court, presenter of our sold-out January session Owls, Owlers, and Owling in Alberta, will talk about the history of the peregrine and its problem with organochlorine pesticide pollutants. Gord will look the decline of the peregrine in Canada and the rest of the world and review the steps that were taken to try to re-establish the bird and the challenges faced along the way. Finally, he will talk about the recovery of the species in Canada and present-day projects to manage the recovering population to ensure its vitality in Alberta.

Gord will bring Vinnie, the Ambassador Peregrine (that’s him in the photo!), always a favorite with folks interested in wildlife.

Come and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Vinnie, and learn about the astounding recovery of the Peregrine Falcon populations in Canada.
