This past weekend I was at the Motorcycle Show with CPF showing our educational birds,answering show goers questions and raising a few bucks for the foundation. We use larger gatherings like this to raise public awareness. We always draw a crowd.These are a few videos I put together of the weekend.

Frank, great videos and beautiful Raptors you have. Thanks for sharing. How is Nova doing? Haven't heard any news.

Oscar taking a bath is too cute.

Nova is doing great. He was at the show,and is in at least the opening day video for sure. He did very well at the 2 shows he has done and is a wonderful addition to the educational team.

It may have been posted somewhere & I missed it, but how exactly did Nova wind up being in CPF's care at such a young age?  He really was cute with his blankie & toys!

Nova was received from a breeding facility..the breeding facility in Wainright Alberta Canada which was responsible for the captive breeding program for birds released to the wild back when Peregrine conservation started. Recently CPF lost their grande dame of their education program Qtesh. She was over 20 years old. She had been in the Wainright facility as one of the breeding birds who produced many young for release. She was retired to CPF some years ago. When they heard of Qtesh's passing,they offered us a new Peregrine to "take her place". Nova was that bird. He was born(I always say that...hatched of course) in captivity and we accepted him happily. He was acclimated to people and is now a full and valuable member of our feathered educational team.

It's sad that you lost Qtesh-always sad to lose a matriarch like her!  But I'm glad Nova was available to carry on her work!
