Karen Metz began monitoring raptors for bird conservation organizations and agencies in 1988. She has trained raptor monitors in Colorado for nearly 20 years and has taught classes with REF since 2013. She will have her collection of custom-curated slides and we’ll be bringing approximately 12 live raptors. We’re going to focus on raptors which make the shortgrass prairie ecosystem their home, with discussions about habitat and conservation, in addition to tricks and tips for identifying the magnificent raptors of wide open spaces. Anne Price, REF’s President and Curator will be working with Karen to provide all levels of birders the best identification class available in Colorado.  Don’t miss this opportunity to improve your raptor IQ.
