If the sight of a falcon, eagle, owl, or osprey soaring over the shoreline of Lake Superior has always enraptured you, this workshop will let you dig your talons into these fascinating creatures. Join Micaela Brevig, naturalist with The Raptor Center for a day-long immersion in raptors. The first half of the day will include an overview of The Raptor Center’s work in raptor rehabilitation, demonstrations with live raptors—eagles, hawks, falcons and owls—and an examination of feathers, wings, talons, and bones. After lunch, the course will head into the field for an afternoon nature hike focused on raptors and their interactions with the North Shore ecosystem. Bring your binoculars!

You will need the following tools for this class:

There will be a field component; please dress to be outdoors in any weather and to do moderate hiking. We will take a break for lunch in town.

Feel free to bring your favorite tools and whatever materials you might feel appropriate for this course.
