SUMMARY:Wildlife Series - 4/16/2024 - Life History of the Peregrine Falcon
DESCRIPTION:Program begins at 7:30 pm \nSpeaker: Steve Broker \n“By the mid-1960s\, peregrines had become extirpated east of the Rocky Mountains. In tonight’s program\, Steve will cover the return of the Peregrine\, specifically in Connecticut where there are at least 14 known territorial pairs.  We will learn about the life history strategies of peregrines\, including gender roles\, nest site selection and preparation\, mating\, egg-laying\, care of nestlings and fledglings\, dispersal of young\, site fidelity\, and longevity.  Steve’s illustrated presentation draws on his 25 years of observing and studying peregrines at West Rock Ridge in Woodbridge\, CT\, and East Rock Park in New Haven. Steve is a member of Hartford Audubon.” \nPlease reach out to Frances D’Amico with any questions at frandamico525@yahoo.com or 203-237-2734. \n
