Broderick is a talented teacher and brings more than 25 years of experience researching, rescuing and rehabilitating birds of prey. He is able to distinguish a ferruginous hawk from a red-tailed hawk or a prairie falcon from a peregrine falcon from great distances. Participants will learn identification tips for resident and over-wintering birds of prey. Raptors seen on past hikes include golden eagles, bald eagles, rough-legged hawks, Cooper's hawks, sharp-shinned hawks, ferruginous hawks, peregrine falcons, prairie falcons and other more common raptors.
