A Year of the Peregrine Falcon program

Chicago Ornithological Society and the Field Museum invite you to join us for the final event in the Year of the Peregrine Falcon!

After a year of looking back, it’s time to look forward. This short film screening and panel event will feature new and cutting edge footage of Peregrines in action taken right here in Chicago. Immediately following the film we’ll hear from environmental leaders on what it took to get here and what comes next for Peregrines and birds in Chicago.

Our panelists include:
Mary Hennen - Director, Chicago Peregrine Program
Suzanne Malec-McKenna - Former Commissioner, Chicago Dept. of Environment
Judy Pollock - President, Chicago Bird Alliance
(more to be announced soon)
