WEBINAR: Life history of the endemic Black Falcon of Australia by Dr. Steve Debus

Black FalconFalco subniger

Our next Birds of the World  Discovery Series webinar features Dr. Steve Debus, an ornithologist from New South Wales, Australia and author of The Birds of Prey of Australia, A Field Guide (2019) and Australian Falcons: Ecology, Behaviour and Conservation (2022). Steve has a particular admiration for the Black Falcon, a little-studied Australian endemic which was recently discovered to have genetic ties to the hierofalcons. In his spare time, Steve and a colleague conducted field studies of the Black Falcon, which led to several papers on the breeding biology, behaviour and foraging ecology of the species. Steve recently updated the Birds of the World Black Falcon species account. In this webinar, Steve will relate fascinating details on the life history of this fast and agile raptor.
