SUMMARY:Menunkatuck Audubon: Raptor Quest Chasing America's Raptors
DESCRIPTION:Scott Harris spent 17 months in pursuit of the 53 raptors that call the Lower 48 states home. Across 34 states\, from -36 degree days to ones over 100 degrees\, to just getting on the bird just in time\, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes\, Scott found all 53\, along with a Bat Falcon\, a Steller’s Sea Eagle\, and an Eurasian Eagle Owl. \nRaptorQuest\, Chasing America’s Raptors\, is about his adventures\, misadventures\, successes\, and failures. It’s about the birds\, of course\, but it’s also about the people he met\, the things he learned\, and why he’s already working on his next adventure. \nScott and his wife\, Randi\, retired to South Carolina in March of 2020\, a decision Scott will tell you was one of the best they had made in their 45 years of marriage. It was also when he first started birding – a hobby he never imagined himself participating in\, but now can’t imagine living without. \nRegister to get Zoom link.
