Tom Ricardi is one of the nation’s most respected bird of prey rehabilitators and educators. He will bring some of the permanently injured owls, hawks, and eagles from his Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Center in Conway, Massachusetts to Historic Northampton, and describe each bird’s natural history and why their populations have changed over time.
A retired Fish and Wildlife game warden and licensed wildlife rehabilitator, Ricardi has spent the last 50 years nurturing thousands of injured birds of prey back to health at his Birds of Prey Rehabilitation Center in Conway, MA. He was the first person in the U.S. to successfully breed permanently injured bald eagles in captivity and has released dozens of eaglets into the wild. His goal is to help people appreciate, respect, and assist in the conservation of these important raptors and their habitats.
