Peregrine Banding Through a Photographer’s Eye with Jill Beim
May 22 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Many birds of prey were once nearly wiped out. Thanks to caring people, things are looking up – way up! But we still need to track the recovery of the peregrines.
Scientists and volunteers are helping keep track of the peregrines that nest on the cliffsides along Lake Superior. One of their important tasks is banding, where each chick gets fitted with “I.D. bracelets” that can be read from far away with binoculars.
The scientists and volunteers who help with this are organized into teams by Jackie Fallon of the Midwest Peregrine Society. Among them is Jill Beim, who is behind the camera at each of these sites, capturing it all in amazing photos such as these. Come learn about her unique photographer’s perspective and take home a free copy of Ranger Rick magazine!
Jill Beim is a conservation photographer based in Silver Bay, Minnesota, who has been capturing images of wildlife and landscapes for 10 years. Her work with peregrines has been featured in Ranger Rick magazine.
