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?
More on that in the program!
