Bird of Prey Days this weekend near Rochester, more information below. Moderate south winds in this weekend's forecast might make for decent hawk migration, with air temps getting warm and not so "BBRR" :-).

This weekend, April 22-24, Braddock Bay Raptor Research will be holding its annual Bird of Prey Days event. We are hosting in person events, both indoors and out. Not only is it a chance for families to come out and learn more about raptors and birding in our community, but also a chance to learn about current research projects that BBRR is involved in. Just wanted to highlight a few presentations that may be of particular interest to the birding community. First, you can find the complete schedule of events at https://www.bbrr.org/bird-of-prey-days-2022/. While there you can also check out the link to our online auction which will raise funds for our work. https://www.myminiauction.com/braddockbayraptorresearchauction Saturday, 4/23 : 8:00 am Morning Bird Walk at Braddock Bay, hosted by Genesee Valley Audubon Society 11:00 am Discovering Emerging Disease in Sharp-shinned Hawks - https://www.bbrr.org/events/discovering-emerging-disease-in-sharp-shinned-hawks/ 2:00 pm Red-tailed Hawk Banding Research: Developing Nutritional Treatment for Hospitalized Red-tailed Hawks - https://www.bbrr.org/events/red-tailed-hawk-banding-research/ Sunday. 4/24: 12:00 pm - Rochester's Peregrine Falcons - https://www.bbrr.org/events/rochester-peregrine-falcons/ 2:00 pm - Snowy Owl ROCstars - the latest news about this winter's Rochester based snowy owls - https://www.bbrr.org/events/snowy-owl-roc-stars/ Of course, the hawkwatch will be going with David Brown on duty as our head counter, but also with some of the BBRR volunteers there as interpreters to help people spot birds and learn about hawkwatching.
