Dave specializes in the lives of migratory birds as well as the conservation of their global populations. As a member of the Kestrel Land Trust Advisory Council, he helped to spearhead the land trust’s efforts to save its namesake, the American Kestrel. This beautiful bird is the smallest falcon in North America, and its population is in decline. Dave will share the story of the trust’s Kestrel Nest Box program, and talk about the life history of these beautiful falcons, as well as efforts to conserve critical habitats for migratory birds of all kinds. You’ll be able to view the kestrel box in the field below the new Hitchcock Center and find out how you can get involved in this important effort to aid a species at risk!
