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 various birds of prey species. Additional time will be allotted for a Q&A session and a photo opportunity with the birds at the end of the program.
French native Gregory Wojtera is a Master Falconer who has worked with more than 55 raptors in the past 14 years. He trains and flies hawks, falcons and owls for a variety of purposes, including hunting, falconry abatement (bird control) and education. 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. Gregory is also licensed at the state and federal levels to conduct public falconry classes.
