Description - This four week class will focus on the meat eating, flesh ripping group of birds which impress so many people, the "raptors" also known as hawks, eagles and owls. We'll learn about all the raptors that can be found in the west and at what time of year. We'll also discuss hunting styles, flight patterns and various behaviors. We'll review key field marks so you can determine a falcon from a buteo, a Rough-Legged from a Swainson's. We'll also learn the different calls of each Owl species so you can recognize the owls calling in your neighborhood at night. Class includes one morning field trip so we can go out and find all the raptors that frequent our area by day. Its a great class - come out and have some fun! You'll also be helping to support the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society.
