Wildlife West visitors can experience these magnificent birds up-close as they perform with world-renowned falconer Tom Smylie.
Learn how Peregrine Falcons went from the brink of extinction 35 years ago - with only 200 birds in the wild - to one of the most successful recovery stories in US history.
With more than 40 years experience with raptors, Smylie’s work with the “faster than a speeding bullet” birds includes researching their habitats and studying how they survive in the wild. During the course of the past eight years, he has also presented daily live bird shows at the Rio Grande Zoo. Smylie has done research on raptors in Greenland, Alaska and all over the United States.
