SUMMARY:Aiken Monthly Mtg Jan. 15 | The Art of Falconry: A Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first program of 2025! Master Falconer Deanna Curtis is our guest speaker and will be presenting on The Art of Falconry: A Cultural Heritage.\n\nStep into the ancient and captivating world of falconry\, a tradition spanning centuries and cultures. Learn about the history and significance of falconry as an art form\, its role in cultural heritage\, and the unique characteristics and hunting techniques of each bird. Perfect for all ages\, this experience offers a rare opportunity to witness these raptors up close and gain a deeper appreciation for the bond between humans and birds of prey.\n\nDeanna had her first raptor encounter at her son’s Cub Scout pack meeting in 1999\, where a non-profit organization gave a presentation with live raptors. She was hooked from the first free-flight\, and turned to her friend saying\, “I am going to get a job doing that!” She started volunteering shortly after and was brought on staff as their head lecturer within two years.\nIn 2004 Deanna decided to become a licensed falconer and in 2011 became a master falconer. She then started her own non-profit organization in 2007 using non-releasable raptors for educational purposes. To date\, she has trained and worked with 22 different species of raptors ranging in size from the small American kestrel to our iconic national symbol\, the majestic bald eagle. Deanna was the first female President of the Colorado Hawking Club and has also served as Director-at-Large and as the Public Information Officer for North American Falconers Association. She is also a Certified Interpretive Guide under the auspices of the International Association of Interpretation.\nDeanna landed her dream job working for Broadmoor Outfitters in January 2018\, blending her two passions in life: raptor education and falconry.\n\nThis is an in-person meeting held at the Colorado Parks & Wildlife Office located at 4255 Sinton Road 80907.The classroom entrance is on the back (east side) of the building. The main door will be locked.\n\nThe meeting will also be broadcast via Zoom.\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 874 4541 6672\nPasscode: 586853\n\nWin bags of bird seed in our chance drawing!
