RAPTORQUEST: CHASING AMERICA’S RAPTORS

Wildlife photographer Scott Harris discusses his new book—RaptorQuest, Chasing America’s Raptors—which details his journey to find all 53 of the raptors that call the Lower 48 states home.  He found all 53, along with a Bat Falcon, a Steller’s Sea Eagle, and a Eurasian Eagle Owl. The book is filled with stories about each bird and dozens of color photographs. The quest took him seventeen months and more than 100,000 miles of travel across 34 states. In his presentation, he shares his adventures, misadventures, successes, and failures. From minus 36-degree days, to one over 100, to getting stuck in the mud, to barely missing a bird, to just arriving in time. He talks about the raptors, of course, but also the people he met, the things he learned, and why he’s already in the middle of his next big birding adventure.
