Join Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) and Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (OSA) in welcoming master falconer and educator Antonio Balestreri to Laguna Seca in North Coyote Valley! Guests will experience several of our native raptor species, including an American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, Barn Owl, Great Horned Owl, and the Red-tailed Hawk.
This educational presentation will focus on the roles raptors play in our environment, some of the day to day challenges they face, and of course raptor biology and conservation. Sign up for this unique opportunity to see these rescued and captive-bred raptors up close.
Seating will be on the ground and the program may include a free flying bird of prey. Please come prepared with a picnic blanket to help you be comfortable sitting in the open field. Low-profile chairs will be allowed, but we will ask that you setup behind guests seated on blankets. No dogs are allowed at this event.
Please note that children are welcome and encouraged to attend! However, this event is a 2 hour sit/listen educational program and may be better suited to kids age 10 or older. Remember, this event is less intended to entertain, but rather to educate our community about the lives of our local birds of prey and how we can better take care of them as a community.
