Raptor Quest

The Talbot County Bird Club has scheduled a speaker to join them thru Zoom from South Carolina at their November meeting.  They have opened up this talk to our Chesapeake Forum audience. Attendees are welcome to join us in our Hybrid Classroom for a big screen viewing or via Zoom (or you can wait for the recording).

Scott Harris dedicated 17 months to pursuing 53 raptor species across 34 states, embarking on his own Raptor Big Year. His book, Raptor Quest: Chasing America’s Raptors, chronicles this year-long journey to find every raptor species in the lower 48 states. In this presentation, Scott will share his adventures, misadventures, successes, and failures. While the primary focus will be on the birds, Scott will also talk about the people he encountered, the lessons he learned, and his plans for his next adventure.
