Raptors are difficult. Using multiple superb images,  I show you techniques for simplifying recognition of raptors. Instead of rote learning confusing detail on each species, I demonstrate frameworks for recognition of sub-groups before moving to species level identification - 2 step identification protocols. I emphasize process against detail. This course covers 68 common raptors of South Africa.

 

You will be engaged and enthused (and have fun) with the comparative work, games and self-identification exercises. What once seemed daunting becomes doable.
