Our raptor research involves surveys of wintering hawks and falcons to better estimate their populations. Join us as we conduct roadside raptor banding surveys throughout Calvert County, to collect more data for this study. We will use traps to capture hawks to band, then release them, We'll take size & weight measurements as well as document age and sex of the birds.
We will meet at Battle Creek Cypress Swamp and travel in the county van to various areas.
