About this Event
Presented by Jim Wright, Author
Jim Wright, author of the acclaimed new book The Peregrine Falcon, tells all about these incredible raptors in this lavishly illustrated talk: how they can travel at 200 mph, why they nearly went extinct, how they were saved (in the unlikeliest way) and how they became an internet superstar. Even if you think you know a lot about peregrines, prepare to be surprised.
Jim's book The Peregrine Falcon will be available for purchase at the program. The Booklist magazine gave The Peregrine Falcon a great review: "Full of personal anecdotes from Wright's many years as a nest monitor and hawk watcher and quotes from scientists and early naturalists and richly illustrated with beautiful color photos, this will be the peregrine primer for years to come." A must-have book for your library!
About the speaker: In addition to this go-to book on peregrine falcons, Jim wrote The Screech Owl Companion and The Real James Bond. He monitors nesting peregrines for the state of New Jersey in the spring, coordinates the State Line Hawk Watch this fall, and writes a birding column for The Record in Northern New Jersey every two weeks.
