Glacier's Birds of Prey

Glacier Institute
Description:
Cost: $160.00 - Lodging included
Raptors have been immortalized as symbolic heralds in literature, served as important indicators in uncovering the effects of pesticides on wildlife, and they patrol our skies connecting us to an ancient, evolutionary past. During our two days together, we will discuss the life histories, habits, physical characteristics, distribution, and management policies of Glacier’s full suite of birds of prey. We will focus, in particular, on the Bald Eagle population in the Park, and why it has risen and fallen dramatically in recent years.
