COA Workshop: Hawk Watch ID (online)

Learn about the hawks, eagles and other raptors that soar over Connecticut in this free online Zoom presentation sponsored by the Connecticut Ornithological Association. Then visit one of our state’s premier hawk watches in person — such as Lighthouse Point in New Haven or Quaker Ridge at the Greenwich Audubon Center in Greenwich.

Hawkwatcher and COA Board member Ryan MacLean will discuss the flight styles, abundance and identification tips of raptor species to help you join the ranks of hawk watchers that look to the skies each fall.

Ryan is the Bird Education Specialist at the Greenwich Audubon Center and conducts in-person programs for school groups, bird tours and private adventures as well as virtual webinars on natural history subjects. He was the official hawk counter for Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch for six seasons and has counted hawks professionally at the Braddock Bay Spring Hawk Watch in Rochester, NY.
