Hello All,

 

I was just sent this. If you would like to attend this session (at 8.a.m. on Friday next week), you need to register. I have registered and within about 5 minutes received an email back that provides the url to log on at the time. For what it is worth, many of you will have one or other of Steve Debus’s books about raptors. I have known Steve for something like 44 years and been out in the field with him a few times. He took me around some of his survey sites near Armidale years ago. He is certainly an informed source and nice person. I well recall the time of my first observation of a Black Falcon at the BOCA easter camp at Balranald, of 1973. And several (certainly not many) observations since then.

 

Philip

DESCRIPTION

Our next Birds of the World  Discovery 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 is an associate editor with Birds of the World and recently updated the Black Falcon species account. Steve has a particular admiration for this little-studied Australian endemic which was recently discovered to have genetic ties to the hierofalcons. In his spare time, he 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 will walk us through the fascinating life history of this enigmatic species. 

 

 

All Birds of the World Discovery Webinars will be recorded and posted on the BOW news blog the week following the event. To receive the recording via email, register above. 

 

STEVE'S BIO 

Steve Debus works as an independent ecological consultant for government and industry on fauna surveys, assessments, and conservation plans (mainly birds) while also co-supervising graduate raptor projects. He has surveyed and monitored the nests of threatened raptors. He has written around 150 papers and several books or book chapters, mainly on raptors, including field guides to Australian raptors and owls, and monographs on the Australasian eagles and Australian falcons. He edited the journal Australian Field Ornithology for 32 years, and the BirdLife Australia Raptor Group's newsletter Boobook for stints of 10 and 15 years, respectively.

 

Hope to see you there!
