Monday August 12th 12pm – 2pm:
- Raptor Identification with Dr. Ben Skipper, Professor at Angelo State University.
- Unusual Raptor Plumages with Bill Clark, Chairman of RAPTOURS Board of Advisors.
Raptors are a captivating group of birds that draw significant interest from both casual and dedicated birdwatchers. Identifying these birds can be challenging due to their various plumage morphologies, similarities between species, and the fleeting nature of raptor behavior. However, by focusing on a few key field marks, body postures, and unique species traits, birdwatchers can quickly enhance their raptor identification skills and develop a deeper appreciation for these magnificent creatures.
Raptors don’t always match their field guide illustrations. Join us for a fascinating talk featuring photos of North American diurnal raptors with unique plumages, including albino, partial albino, amelanistic, melanistic, and hybrids. We’ll also discuss long-billed syndrome, methane burner casualties, and more. Perfect for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, and wildlife photographers!
