      The Urban Red-tailed Hawk
Wildlife photographer and urban hawk adviser to NYC Audubon Jeffrey 
Kollbrunner presents an educational slide show. The program 
discusses the biology and ecology of the Red-tailed Hawk adapting to 
the urban environment. The presentation covers a full year in the in the 
life cycle of a pair of Red-tailed Hawks, documented through field 
observation and high resolution photographic images. Many of these 
images have captured events in the life of Red-tailed Hawks that are 
very rarely observed.
      
      Native Americans: 21st Century Portraits
This presentation portrays Native American heritage in the 21st 
century. Set to background music this narrated slide show of portraits 
brings close the significance of the Pow Wow where tribal nations 
gather from far and wide, to present-day Native Americans. A Pow Wow 
provides an opportunity to communicate with old friends, make new 
friends, and helps preserve culture and traditions through multilayered 
activities focused on song and dance.

      Garden & Nature Photography
This program showcases a wide variety of beautiful high resolution 
garden and nature images to just enjoy and relax or take away 
knowledge to capture more powerful imagery on your own. We will 
discuss simple techniques to produce beautiful photographs. See how 
to take advantage of different times of day and lighting conditions to 
obtain the best results. Understand and conquer why your photographs 
may not always look as you observed, the colors are off, they apear too 
dark or too bright, the result is not sharp and much more. I will also 
share fun background stories on how some of the images in the 
presentation were captured or took place being at the right place at the 
right time.
      
      Pale Male Nest Reconstruction
Pale Male, a famous Red-tailed Hawk in Manhattan living on a landmark 
building on 5th Avenue and 74th Street for many years until his nest 
was removed without warning. Learn about Pale Male's history as the 
first Red-tailed Hawk to adopt the Upper East Side of Manhattan as his 
home and how a world outcry helped to bring back his nest where he 
continues to raise his family. Initial efforts restoring the nest failed to 
produce chics for four years. Hired by NYC Audubon to document Pale 
Male's nest from above my photographs assisted developing the 
reconstruction strategy. We will discuss and see through my 
photography the restoration efforts performed on Pale Male's nest as I 
coordinated with a team of people on behalf of NYC Audubon to 
complete all nest repairs.
      
      Nesting Red-tailed Hawks Behavior & Conflicts
My field studies documenting the Red-tailed Hawk for over twenty two 
years provided me the opportunity to photograph many nests. I have 
been fortunate to capture imagery from unparalleled vantage points 
providing an intimate view into the nesting behaviors and development 
of Red-tailed Hawk chics. We will see chics in their first week and as 
they develop over an eight week period, how the parent hawks raise 
and provide for their young, to the young fledglings and their first 
months out of the nest. I will speak to the challenges they endure and 
overcome during the nesting process and as fledglings. Please join me 
as we visit a place rarely observed in the wild, nesting Red-tailed Hawks.
