Winter Raptors: Eagles, Hawks, Owls, and Falcons at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge

Some of the most sought-after birds in New England are the many species of winter raptors. Some of these amazing birds are permanent residents in our area. Others move south out of their northern breeding grounds during the late fall and winter to hunt over area forests, fields, and salt marshes. During this PowerPoint presentation, Bill Gette will describe the different feeding strategies employed by the various species and review the many aids to field identification. Did you know that female raptors are bigger than their male counterparts? Did you know that some species of owls hunt in the daytime?

This program, which will take place in the refuge visitor center auditorium, is being co-sponsored by the refuge and the Friends of Parker River NWR, Inc.

Preregistration is NOT required for this program.
