Sonoma Birding will host a lecture on the Ancient Art of Falconry from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at the Sonoma Valley Veterans Memorial building, 126 First St. W., Sonoma.

The art of hunting with a trained bird of prey is one of the oldest living sports practiced around the world. From Sumerian Emperor Gilgamesh to the peregrine falcon restoration program, attendees can discover how falconry has touched all of our lives throughout history.  

Master falconer and owner of West Coast Falconry, Kate Marden, with falconer, Shawna L. Protze, will talk about how this ancient controversial sport fits into the modern world.  

All public lectures are curated by Sonoma Birding in partnership with Sonoma County Regional Parks. Admission at the door is $8.
