VINS Nature Center Classroom

Join VINS for a night of exciting tales about Hinde’s studies and travels out west, and learn about his contributions to the field of ornithology and raptor studies. This lecture will help to prepare people for heading out into the field to witness the amazing fall migrations. Accomplished ornithologist Al Hinde has spent more than 20 years banding and studying the raptors of the Great Basin of Nevada and Utah, contributing to the knowledge of regional and national raptor ecology. His studies have led to the discovery of eight major concentration areas of at least 18 species of wintering raptors, including Rough-legged Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks, Ferruginous Hawks and Great Horned Owls. This event is free and open to the public.
