Wake Up With Wildlife - All About Raptors

Date:
Saturday, November 7, 2020
Time:
9:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Location:
Project Wildlife LIVE ZOOM

 

CO19-PETShares-Raptors.jpgSan Diego is a hotbed of wildlife.  Our unique bioclimatic zones and topography support a vast array of mammals, birds and reptiles.  But San Diego also lies along the Pacific flyway which means it is the temporary home of an even wider assortment of birds as they pass overhead twice a year.  While most people don't think about raptors as migratory birds, in fact, many species of raptors do migrate.  Join Project Wildlife volunteer Andy Schucker for this virtual class as he focuses on those amazing birds that have captivated our imagination and inspired man to fly.  Find out which raptor species call San Diego home year round and those who just play tourist. Discover how to tell the difference between hawks, falcons, owls and vultures and meet some of Project Wildlife's raptor animal ambassadors.
 
With over 30 years experience in informal education including 22 years in wildlife education, Andy has worked with a large variety of raptors, from the tiny 4 oz African pygmy falcon to golden eagles.  Andy has been involved in all manner of care for raptors including, rehab, long term housing, and training.
 
There is a $5 fee for this program. If you're a San Diego Humane Society staff member or volunteer, please email cpadilla@sdhumane.org before registering. ZOOM information will be sent to you the day before the presentation.
