The Delaware Valley Ornithological Club (DVOC) hosts author and birder, Kenn Kaufman for a talk and moderated Q&A about his new book, The Birds that Audubon Missed. His talk will focus on the role Philadelphia played in early American ornithology and natural science. Two centuries ago, in spring 1824, three remarkable birdmen met in Philadelphia. George Ord, vice president of the Academy of Natural Sciences, was launching a new edition of Alexander Wilson’s American Ornithology.

Learn how to fly a hawk, a falcon or an owl! Our falconry class will teach you the basics of raptors' behavior and husbandry and will explain the need for their protection and conservation. You will get the chance to hold the birds on your falconry gauntlet, and you will experience the unique thrill of having them fly freely from your glove and back to you. A very memorable experience that has been described by some as a "life-changing moment".
