Field Trip - Saturday, March 5,
8:30 am – 1:30 pm,
Meet at the Museum of the Rockies parking lot, NE corner. 600 West Kagy Boulevard, Bozeman, MT 59717

On Friday evening, Steve will provide a detailed discussion of the identification and natural history of all raptor species (e.g., hawks, eagles, falcons, etc.) wintering in the Gallatin Valley. Steve’s illustrated talk will include a description of the many plumage variations (including subspecies and color forms, as well as age and sex variations) of the more common and observable species. Helpful behavioral clues will also be incorporated. Eagles, falcons and the “buteo” hawks (such as Red-tailed Hawks) will be emphasized.
 
On Saturday morning, participants will then go into the field (north of Bozeman) to practice their newly-developed skills. Be sure to bring your binoculars, dress for the weather and bring lunch, drinks or snacks for this 4-5 hour trip. If you have a spotting scope that you can bring, that would be helpful.
