SUMMARY:Valley Talk – An Intimate Encounter with Birds of Prey Native to the Wissahickon with Courtney Douds of Raptor Jawns 
DESCRIPTION:In person at the Valley Green Inn (sold out) or online on Zoom\nMeet two of the beautiful raptors who call Wissahickon Valley home for an up-close view of these incredible predators. Learn about the individual and natural history of Raptor Jawns’ red-tailed hawk and Eastern screech owl and how you might best be able to see or hear each species and more in the park. This talk will include a feeding demonstration of the hawk and information on how these birds are used in falconry as well as each bird’s unique hunting and survival adaptations. \nCourtney Douds is a Master Falconer who became obsessed with birds of prey after seeing the Royal Tenenbaums in theaters as a child. She graduated from Columbia University in 2010 with degrees in English and Environmental Biology.
