Bill Gette, former Director of Mass Audubon’s Joppa Flats Education Center, has led natural history field trips for more than thirty years. 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 presentation, Bill 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? Join us for an informative evening exploring these interesting birds of prey.
