Workshop: Thursday, October 24, 7:00-8:30 AM

Bird Outing: Saturday, October 26, 1:00-4:00 PM

If you've ever been to a hawk watch, you've probably been amazed at the ability of the hawk-watchers to call out IDs of soaring raptors so distant that they look like specks on the horizon. This class will help you distinguish between accipiters, buteos, vultures, eagles, and more. Learn how their shapes reflect their behavior and ecology, and how subtle differences in form and pattern will allow you to identify raptors with a newfound confidence.

Registration required. $35 for NYC Bird Alliance (formerly NYC Audubon) members, $52 for non-members. Limited to 15.
