This program will introduce participants to falconry, its history and its significance in the past and present. It will also touch on the biology and natural history of our native raptor species. Participants will be introduced to two of Pennsylvania’s native birds of prey (a red-tailed hawk and a red-shouldered hawk) as well as a Harris’s hawk, which is native to the Southwestern U.S. Additional time will be allotted for a Q&A session and a photo opportunity with the birds at the end of the program.

Please note, this is a bring-your-own seat event, be it a blanket or a lawn chair.

Please note that individual tickets are per person and that all children must be accompanied by an adult.

French native Gregory Wojtera is a Master Falconer who has worked with almost 50 raptors in the past 12 years.

He created Masters of the Skies in 2014 to educate the general public about birds of prey and falconry, and he has been working as a full-time falconer and educator since 2016.
