In this class you will learn to identify hawks, from the small American Kestrel to the majestic Bald Eagle, and you will learn how and why hawks migrate. Houston is located along a major flyway: you will take advantage of this by spending time in the field practicing identifying hawks in flight as they pass through on their way from their breeding grounds in Northern Canada and Alaska to their wintering grounds in Central and South America.
Comes with a field trip for Saturday, Septemeber 22, 7:30am-4:00pm
Member cost: $75
Non-member cost:$90
