Demystifying Wintering Raptors workshop taught by Eric Hynes

Common, conspicuous and oh so confusing... raptors delight and frustrate birders of all skill levels. But it doesn't have to be that way! This program will reprogram your approach to identifying raptors in the field. You will quickly narrow your choices to family by learning which field marks to observe, which clues to lean on, and when to apply the all-important moniker: "unidentified." Subtle secrets to clinch the precise identification will be revealed.

And for a brief bio:

Eric Hynes has been fascinated by birds and passionate about birding since he first heard the ghostly wailing of a Common Loon at summer camp in Maine almost 40 years ago. Eric's positive energy and infectious enthusiasm for all things wild has drawn many a convert to birding and conservation.  Picking a favorite bird is like choosing a favorite child but raptors have been a reoccurring and welcomed theme for much of his field research over several decades. Eric spent six falls as the official counter during fall migration at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, multiple breeding seasons studying Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcons and Barn Owls in the Snake River Canyon for the USGS in Idaho, as well as numerous seasons during fall migration banding raptors in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Eric has happily spent countless hours studying birds of prey and he is excited to share his perspective with all who will listen (from a safe distance). These days, when Eric is not an educator for his two young daughters who are learning remotely, he is a bird guide for his local company Box Canyon Birding and a tour leader on hold (waiting for the pandemic to end) for his longtime employer Field Guides Inc. - one of the preeminent international bird tour companies.
