Bergen County Audubon Society President Don Torino welcomes author Jim Wright to the next episode of The Nature Connection. The episode, focused on Peregrine Falcons, airs Sunday, April 26, from 6:30 a.m. to 7 a.m. on WFDU 89.1 FM and will be archived on https://wfdu.fm/ for the following two weeks.

Jim’s new book, “The Peregrine Falcon,” was published this month. The tome is an entertaining and informative blend of history, science, and personal reflections – featuring extraordinary images of peregrine falcons, the fastest animal on Earth.

“The Peregrine Falcon” informs readers why peregrines live in cities, how they can reach speeds of 200 mph, and why they are so fast and fierce. Tune in for an enlivening discussion about the falcon’s rich and storied history, how to watch nesting peregrines online, and why they are such extraordinary raptors.

Jim has written about peregrine falcons and photographed them extensively for the past two decades, including many encounters in the Meadowlands and on the Hudson River Palisades.

The Nature Connection airs the fourth Sunday of each month.
