Birders Night: Northern Goshawk

Join Master Falconer and High Desert Museum Natural History Curator, John Goodell as he give us a closer look at the Northern Goshawk, it’s habitat, natural history and population status as one of the most secretive diurnal raptors in Central Oregon.

John will be bringing a live goshawk to provide an up close and personal encounter during which you’ll also learn some little-known facts about goshawk behavior, prey, and amazing hunting strategies. John is a wildlife biologist with over 20 years’ experience conducting wildlife research and monitoring efforts throughout the western U.S. He has a particular interest in passerine and raptor conservation and wildlife habitat restoration.

Join ECAS at 6:30pm for social time and treats. A discussion covering local birding and birding events starts at 7:00pm, and the Goshawk program runs from about 7:30pm to 8:30pm.

ECAS members, friends, neighbors and central Oregon visitors are all welcome to Birder’s Night.
