An Introduction to Raptor ID - Virtual Workshop

Live event held on March 27, 2025 Learn to identify Vermont’s native raptor species with insights from the VINS Research Team, who study these birds every day. Join us for a course focused on diurnal raptors that breed, migrate through, or overwinter in Vermont (note: owls are not included in this presentation). This workshop will introduce key tools for raptor identification, both up close and at a distance, including body shape, size, flight style, behavior, habitat, season, and field markings. Using these methods, we’ll focus on species profiles for Vermont’s 16 raptor species, with in-depth notes on distinguishing males from females in select species and identifying juveniles versus adults. We’ll wrap up with a quick photo ID quiz and a discussion of helpful resources, including field guides and apps, to support your raptor identification skills.
