Save the Dates: ‘Peregrine Falcon’ Talks

This spring, I’m giving several talks on The Peregrine Falcon, plus a launch event, that are free and open to the public.
The book, published by Schiffer, is 244 pages, with 90 awesome images (most are in color). List price is $29.95. It’s available online at https://bookshop.org/, https://schifferbooks.com, https://www.amazon.com/ and elsewhere. It’s also available at Wild Birds Unlimited in Paramus.
Booklist magazine raves: “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.”
Signed books will be available for purchase. Stay tuned for more info on these events:
