Winter is a great time for observing a large diversity and abundance of raptors in the Bitterroot Valley. The Bitterroot Audubon Society is offering a Winter Raptor ID Workshop. One 2-hour evening class and one half-day field trip will incorporate the natural history, identification, conservation, behavior, habitat requirements, and migration ecology of all hawks, eagles, harriers, and falcons known to occur in the Bitterroot Valley. 

The classroom session will take place on Friday evening, February 24, from 6:30-8:30 at the Forest Service building in Hamilton (park and enter in rear of building). The field trip will take place on Saturday, February 25th, from 8:30-1:00. The instructor will be Steve Hoffman, former Executive Director of Montana Audubon and founder of HawkWatch International. Steve’s considerable expertise and passion for raptors will be enthusiastically shared with all participants! 

 The cost for the workshop is $20 for Bitterroot Audubon members and $25 for non-members. Preregistration is required, and this workshop is limited to 25 participants.
