Hello Raptor Enthusiasts!

 

Here’s your chance to brush up on your raptor identification skills and increase your overall raptor knowledge.  Winter Hawks of Western Washington is a 5-session class, held over 5 weeks, that teaches you about the 15 regularly occurring species of hawks, eagles, harriers, falcons and vultures that normally occur in the Salish Sea area. 

 

Sue Cottrell, of Raptor Studies Northwest, covers how to identify them, where to find them, when and why they are here, how they make a living, and what you need to observe them.

She emphasizes field identification and the particularly fascinating elements of winter behavior, as well as general raptor ecology. Sue has studied raptors and guided outdoor trips for over 30 years, and has a vast knowledge of the local raptor populations. 

 

There will be both an in-person class at Padilla Bay Interpretive Center, beginning Tuesday, January 7, and a Zoom class beginning Wednesday January 8. Both in-person and Zoom classes begin at 7pm (PST) and last about two hours.
