SPEAKER: John Bonelli
TOPIC: Birds of Prey and Our Environment
This month’s guest speaker is a founding member of the Long Island Hawking Club. The club has been in existence for more than 20 years and is dedicated to understanding the role of birds of prey in the ecosystem and to the sport of falconry. John will bring live hawks, owls, and falcons, and will educate us about the birds found in our area. He is licensed by New York State and the federal government to breed birds. In addition, he is a wildlife artist, working in oils and acrylics, and will bring us a sample of his work.
