Fall is a perfect time to learn about hawks and other raptors, also known as birds of prey. Many raptors migrate south through Oregon this time of year. This class will focus on how to identify the most common birds of prey that occur in Oregon. An optional field trip with transportation provided visits Bonney Butte, a hawk migration study site near Mt. Hood, where up to two hundred raptors a day fly by.
