Raptor Seminar

Fall hawk migration is getting started! The upcoming months will see our highest numbers and diversity of raptor species and the flow of migration itself can be observed peaking in September and October at Hawk Hill by the Golden Gate and at other locations around the North Bay. So now is the perfect time to brush up on your hawk knowledge and then get out and put it to good use!

In this in-store presentation, we’ll give a tour of essentially all our local raptors: 18 species of hawk, falcon, eagle, and other daytime birds of prey. We’ll teach you how to identify the familiar species with confidence and where to find the less common birds. We’ll also take a brief look at three of our most notable owl species, including identification by ear.

This free presentation at Wild Birds Unlimited of Novato will begin at 10 AM on Sunday, September 23 and last about 45 minutes, with time for questions afterwards. If you would like to attend, please reserve your space by choosing your number of attendees and clicking “Confirm RSVP” above. This seminar is fully booked. Please check back in upcoming months for encore presentations on this popular topic.
