In this course you will get a look at several raptor projects and hear what has been learned in recent years. These projects include: a 14-year old kestrel management project; a 5-year old saw-whet owl banding project; a study of snowy owls and their recent appearances; and a study of northern goshawks in the area. Live raptors will be at each class where they will be viewed and discussed.
Mark Manske taught in the public schools for 27 years, and he has spent 5 years as an adjunct professor offering a birds of prey course at Paul Smith’s College. Mark studied under Drs. Frederick and Frances Hamerstrom, who were graduate students of Aldo Leopold, considered by many as the father of wildlife management in America. Mark is the owner of Adirondack Raptors Inc., an ecotourism business dedicated to teaching others about raptors.
