Nature Done Wright

Incorporating the Celery Farm and Screech Owl Companion blogs

April 16, 2026

SAVE THE DATES!

This spring, I’m giving several talks on The Peregrine Falcon, plus a launch event — 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.

Signed copies are available at Wild Birds Unlimited in Paramus and the New Jersey Audubon’s Lorrimer Nature Sanctuary in Franklin Lakes.

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:
