The North Shore of Lake Superior is one of the premier migratory
routes for raptors and songbirds in North America. Hundreds of
thousands to millions of birds migrate via this route, and many of them
pass directly over Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve. In this workshop, on
location at Hawk Ridge, we will explore the background of how this
corridor developed and the forces behind such an exceptional migratory
corridor.

Participants will have the opportunity to observe the migration in
motion, learn from expert staff about specific types birds,
their life histories and adaptations, follow daily trends on how the
2014 migration season is progressing, and observe the research efforts
in place at Hawk Ridge, including the passerine, raptor and owl banding
stations. What an opportunity for up close views of a wide variety of
bird species! Join us for the experience of a lifetime.
This is a very busy and hands-on class, so class size is limited (min. 7, max. 12). Course will take place rain or shine, so the show must go on regardless of
the weather. Course fee is $120 and covers
materials and resources. Course Instructor: Margie Menzies and other
Hawk Ridge Staff.
