With Shannon Burke – Marin County Parks Naturalist

From colorful kestrels to enormous eagles, diurnal raptors are charismatic birds of our landscapes.  Perched at the top of the food web, these species take advantage of different habitats and use various strategies to hunt.  We’ll explore how these behaviors, along with distinguishing field marks, can help in identifying our local species as we discuss some of the life history stories that make each unique.

Marin County Parks Naturalist Shannon Burke, known for her expertise in a variety of natural history fields (some animal, some vegetable), has a special interest in raptors and worked for a number of years as a volunteer for the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory.  She always combines her considerable field identification skills with substantial knowledge of animal behavior to create outstanding programs.
