Raptors are some of the easiest birds to view in Southern Idaho. They can be seen perched on wheel lines, power lines and poles, hunting low over farm fields, or soaring overhead throughout the year. In this course you will learn how to use their field markings, flight patterns, habitat selections and behaviors so that when you see a raptor, you’ll be able to confidently add it to your list. Participants will learn to identify eagles, falcons, buteos, accipiters, owls, turkey vultures and harriers during 3 classroom sessions and a Saturday field trip conducted by the Magic Valley’s very best birders. Note: Attendees will need to bring their own or borrowed binoculars to the first class and to the Saturday field trip and drive themselves to the field locations.
