Building Better Birders and Citizen Scientist Workshop: Raptors and Migratory Birds
Calkins Nature Area, Hardin County
Friday, May 28, 2021
Register for the opportunity to join Kelly McKay (BioEco Research and
Monitoring Center), Mark Roberts (Clinton County Conservation), and Brian
Ritter (Nahant Marsh Education Center) at Calkins Nature Area on May 28th
and 29th for a Building Better Birders and Citizen Scientists
Workshop. Their programming will be based around the Raptors and Warblers of
Iowa. This event is free to attend, it is HIGHLY interactive, and it is great
for all ages. If you have any interest in birding, hawks, owls, or migratory avian
species at all this is a MUST ATTEND event for you. We are lucky enough to work
with this group thanks to funding provided by the Resource Enhancement and
Protection – Conservation Education Program (REAP-CEP). Calkins staff members
will be assisting with the event but the experts in the field of ornithology
will have the lead on programming. We will be supplemental to their vast amount
of knowledge on all things related to birds. We hope you can join us! If you
are interested in the event, here are some things to know for scheduling
purposes:
May 28th
6 pm to 10 pm
Raptor Talk, Live Raptor Presentation (Calkins Staff), and an Evening
Owl Prowl through the forest.
