Raptors of the Laguna: Birds of Prey Identification Walk Natural History Field Trip w/ raptor specialist, Lawrence Broderick

Sunday, October 11, 9:30am-1:00pm
Location within Santa Rosa. Details sent upon registration.
$30. Suitable for all ages. Pre-registration required: www.lagunafoundation.org/laguna_walks_classes.shtml

Come out to see and learn about the local and migrant Birds of Prey around the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Fall is migration time and aside from seeing the resident hawks, we will look for migrating hawks as well. From beginner to expert, and suitable for all ages, there is something for everyone. We will have multiple guides and docents along to get the one-on-one training for those who want it. Our goal is to get people out into the field and see these magnificent Birds of Prey going about their daily business. With a friendly, informative and non-intimidating atmosphere, we will share the excitement raptors bring and understand some of their intriguing behaviors. We will learn how to identify them through basic identification traits as well as more advanced observations, and learn what types of habitat they need to succeed and thrive, thus gain a better understanding of land use, protection and potential hazards. Good people, good fun, exercise, fresh air, and oh yes, hawks!

Lawrence (Larry) Broderick runs West County Hawk Watch. With a strong background in hawk identification, raptor survey and census techniques, Larry is known for his fun and informative talks and walks with real-time narration of hawks as they appear in their natural settings.

NOTE: Join us Saturday, October 10, 3:00-4:30pm for a related raptor presentation with Lawrence Broderick at the Laguna Environmental Center.
