[cobirds] October Raptor Identification Class--Raptors of Colorado's Shortgrass Prairie

Announcing the 2025 Raptor Identification Class, presented by the Raptor Education Foundation

Co-Presented by Karen Metz and REF President Anne Price                                                                                                

 

Karen Metz began monitoring raptors for bird conservation organizations and agencies in 1988. She has trained raptor monitors in Colorado for nearly 20 years and has taught classes with REF since 2013. She will have her collection of custom-curated slides and REF will be bringing approximately 12 live raptors. We’re going to focus on raptors which make the shortgrass prairie ecosystem their home, with discussions about habitat and conservation, in addition to tricks and tips for identifying the magnificent raptors of wide-open spaces.

 

The class will be held at the Barr Lake State Park Nature Center on Saturday, October 11th, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Coffee, tea and other morning refreshments will be provided. Complete information and tickets may be found here:
