[Tweeters] Raptor Class begins January 9, 2024

[Pat Britain]

Hello raptor enthusiasts!  Sue Cottrell will be holding her five-week Hawk
Watching Class in person at Padilla Bay Interpretive Center (Mount Vernon,
WA) starting Tuesday, January 9, 2024.  There will also be zoom classes
starting Wednesday January 10, 2024. The cost for the in-person class is
$175.00 and includes an all day field trip.  The cost for the Zoom class is
$100 and does not include a field trip.

 

This is the 41st year for this class!  When Bud Anderson retired in 2019, he
asked Sue to take over the class and keep it going. Sue will teach you about
the 15 species of diurnal raptors that can be found in Western WA,
emphasizing field identification and the particularly fascinating elements
of winter behavior as well as general raptor ecology.  Sue has studied
raptors and guided outdoor trips for over 30 years, and has a vast knowledge
of the local raptor populations. She moved to northwest Washington from
Oregon in 1975 and now resides near Bow, Washington in the heart of winter
raptor territory, and the Samish Flats, 

 

Scholarships are available, especially for young adults who are interested
in pursuing a career involving raptors.  Please see her website to email an
