Birds of Summer: Identifying Hawks in Flight

Every autumn millions of hawks migrate south, providing the best opportunities to see them in flight. However, identifying soaring hawks at a distance is very different from seeing them perched or close-up in photos. This online presentation will introduce you to the most commonly seen hawks in New England and tips to help you recognize them from a distance. By the end of the presentation, you'll know where and when to look for hawks, and how to identify what you find.

This program is part of the 4-session online Birds of Summer Series. Each session stands alone, but if you register for the full series before it starts on 7/18/24 you get all 4 sessions for the price of 3. If you would like to join the full series after it starts and receive recordings of the session(s) you missed, email [email protected] and we will assist you with registration.
