Approximately 30 people enjoyed the presentation and came away with a better understanding of our local Swainson's hawks
Another excellent and well attended event enjoyed by all who were able to be there. That included at least one pair of wild Swainson's hawks soaring overhead while we learned about these great raptors from our friends and the UC Davis Raptor Center again this year. A northern harrier, one or more Red-tailed hawks, Turkey vultures and other wild neighbors were also in the area.
Thank you to the UC Davis Raptor Center and Julie Cotton, Diana Munoz, and Joleen Maiden for coming to Sutter’s Landing and bringing Whistler and Grasshopper. We all enjoyed your most informative presentation about Raptors and how Whistler and Grasshopper came to be wonderful ambassadors from the Raptor Center.

You can see Grasshopper’s cataract that prevents him from being released
Grasshopper enjoyed being in the sun after the presentation
Whistler’s gaze
Whistler was getting hungry and had just poked at Joleen’s glove for food.
Thank you Diana and Grasshopper, Julie, and Joleen and Whistler!
It was a real treat to see Swainson’s Hawks flying above us during the presentation again too!
