Prairie Falcons at Morley Nelson Birds of Prey NCA

Prairie Falcons are a medium sized bird of prey that inhabit grasslands and deserts of western North America. About an hour south of Boise, ID in the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area, there are an estimated 200 breeding pairs of Prairie Falcons, the densest concentration in the world. They serve as apex predators in the ecosystem, primarily hunting for ground squirrels and small birds. Through Boise State University's Raptor Research Program, I am researching their behaviors in relation to movement patterns, diet, and productivity using a variety of technologies. This talk will provide insights into the natural history and resilience of one of our most unique local raptor species!

Join us on July 2 at 7:00 pm to learn about one of Idaho’s special raptors.
