Bird Alliance of Oregon Birding Day: Understanding Raptors with Brodie Cass Talbott

Sauvie Island, with its abundant open spaces and mix of habitats, is host to a large population of wintering raptors. In this beginner’s-focused field trip we’ll search for and practice identifying hawks, harriers, eagles and falcons on Sauvie Island.

Bring lunch and dress for the weather. You will drive yourself for the day. Brodie will reach out with further details before the trip.
