Yes Sandra,
The chances of that occurring must have been very slim indeed! You don’t think someone released it, do you?

Many of us recall the time Stephen came to Canberra to talk at at a COG meeting. The next day we had a field trip out to Shepherds Lookout - and a Black Falcon appeared, then re-appeared when we were at the old Weetangera cemetery. He certainly
had the magical touch that day.

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.

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!
