Scott Harris, Wildlife Photographer and Author of “Raptor Quest” takes us on his journey to find all 53 of the Raptors that call the lower 48 states home. He’ll share his adventures, misadventures, successes and failures during his 17 months of traveling more than 100,000 miles across 34 states. In Scotts words, “It’s about the raptors of course, but it’s also about the people I’ve met and the things I’ve learned.”

We had 253 visitors to our table!
Thank you to our volunteers Dan Pokras, Diane Rudolph, and Chris Sipos for covering the table!
LVAS also had a table at the Pennsylvania Society for Ornithology meeting at the same time.
Thank you to Matt Docalovich from the Alaska Wilderness League for helping cover that table and talking to people about the Arctic defense campaign. A good reminder to everyone that many of our birds depend on Arctic breeding grounds and we must speak out to preserve their habitats under threat from Federal legislation.

A Few Basic Field Trip Guidelines:
• Cell phones should be on silent or vibrate
mode.
• Keep voices low while birding to minimize
disturbance of the birds and allow others in
the group to hear the birds and learn their
songs.
• Keep pace with the trip leader. Please do not
jump ahead or fall behind.
• Bring your binoculars.
• Beginners and experienced birders all welcome!
• Have fun!
