Description
Learn about red-tailed hawks, Swainson’s hawk plumages, peregrine falcons, prairie falcons, and American kestrels—raptors that call New Mexico home throughout the year. Hear about fledgling Cooper’s hawks and American crows forming juvenile packs, Swainson’s hawks feasting on bats, and burrowing owls and ferruginous hawks sharing prairie dog towns. Gail Garber shares real stories and life histories of these remarkable raptors, and she brings several of them with her!
Gail Garber, executive director of Hawks Aloft, has authored three books and published numerous articles. She began working with raptors in 1988 and assumed the directorship of Hawks Aloft when it originated in 1994. She thoroughly enjoys all aspects of Hawks Aloft, including studying nesting raptors along the Rio Grande Bosque, songbird surveys, and working with non-releasable education birds.
