Return of the Peregrine

Our April session is a talk about management and recovery of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus anatum) in Canada at the clubhouse.

Back by popular demand, Gordon Court, presenter of our 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 at 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.
