THANK YOU to everyone who bought a copy of my book, I appreciate it sincerely! I’m now completely sold out and so are the bookstores. In 2022, I moved out of Providence, so I no longer see the Peregrines and other urban raptors from my window. I’ll miss them, but 15 years downtown was long enough and now I have a house with my own backyard birds, frogs, deer, and more. I’m grateful for all the nice people and organizations I’ve met through birding and I still work with Audubon Society of RI, Wildlife Clinic of RI, and more.


Peter Green is a graphic designer and photographer residing in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. He bikes the small city, documenting Peregrine Falcons and other urban raptors from Red-tailed Hawks nesting on a rusty fire escape to American Kestrels hunting in graffiti-covered alleys.

His wildlife photography has been featured on the American Kestrel Partnership website, published in the Providence Journal, and exhibited in the Washington, DC office of United States Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (RI).

His first book “Providence Raptors: Documenting the Lives of Urban Birds of Prey” was published in August 2020.


I am sometimes asked to give “Providence Raptors” birdwatching tours, but I politely decline. These birds are wild, so I can’t guarantee any sightings. And to protect them, precise locations of their vulnerable nests cannot be shared. But I do enjoy giving educational presentations at schools, universities, senior living residences, Audubon’s Raptor Weekend event, and more.


I’m proud to work with these local organizations
