Class description: Join raptor specialist Pamela Llewellyn for this two-week workshop while she guides you through basic identification and natural history of the diurnal birds of prey seen in the San Francisco Bay Area and the surrounding area. Two classroom presentations will provide an introduction to the identification of our local hawks, eagles, and falcons, and help you to sharpen your raptor ID skills. During the field trips we will venture out looking for raptors and practice what we have learned in class. Recommended for beginning and intermediate birders.
