Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Peregrine Falcons being released on the bluffs at Effigy Mounds National Monument. Dave Kester from the Raptor Resource Project will present in the auditorium about his role in the falcon release project held at Effigy Mounds from 1998-1999. Dave will also provide updates about the Peregrine's current nesting status at the park.

Following the presentation, National Park Service staff and Raptor Resource staff will lead a hike up to Fire Point to look for migrating raptors in the area. Please note this two-mile hike is on a wood-chipped trail and climbs 350 feet. Participants wanting to go on this hike are encouraged to bring sturdy shoes, binoculars, and a water bottle.
