Raptors in Flight: Identifying Birds of Prey

Birds of Prey (a.k.a. raptors) are charismatic and dramatic masters of the air. 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 virtual 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, just in time for fall migration season.
