Guest Speaker: Bob Gordon, M.D. Master Falconer and his Partner, Huxley

Topic: Raptors the Birds of Prey

Dr. Gordon will help us expand our knowledge about the natural history of local raptors, the birds of prey we welcome to our landscape as partners in controlling the gophers, mice, rats and other rodents who assume our gardens are being maintained for their sole pleasure.

A master falconer, Dr. Gordon gives regular monthly presentation on birds of prey, falconry and human/wildlife interaction at the San Diego Natural History Museum and the Mission Trails Regional Park’s Visitor Center accompanied by his winged partner, Huxley, a Harris Hawk, perched on his fist to make sure he gets things right.
