 Are you&nbsp\;some
 onewho is interested in learning more about identification of hawks and ot
 her raptors? &nbsp\;Would you like to learn waysto distinguish&nbsp\;one s
 pecies from another even if they are viewed at a distance&nbsp\;with a sco
 pe? &nbsp\;If&nbsp\;so\, this outing&nbsp\;will give you the chance to see
  some of these birds and learn some helpful hints on how to ID them.
 No 
 doubt\, birds of prey are a fascinating part of the birding world and one 
 of the best places to see themin winter&nbsp\;is&nbsp\;the Tantramar Marsh
 &nbsp\;near Sackville. &nbsp\;By the end of November\,&nbsp\;some of the&n
 bsp\;bigger hawks\, harriers and eagles can all be seen&nbsp\;hunting for 
 prey. &nbsp\;Red-tailed Hawks can usually be found in this area&nbsp\;--&n
 bsp\;and by this time\, Rough-legged Hawks\,&nbsp\;some of whichspend the 
 winter with us\, have usually returned.In addition to these hawk species\,
  Bald Eagles are in abundance and\, if you’re lucky\, perhaps a Golden E
 agle\, one of which was present in this area for&nbsp\;a number of consecu
 tive years.Also&nbsp\;some years you can still find some lingeringNorthern
  Harriers&nbsp\;lookingforfood in the marsh&nbsp\;as well as Short-eared O
 wls. &nbsp\;As winter approaches\, it may even be possible to spot a Snowy
  Owl in the fieldsattracted there by the same&nbsp\;“all you can eat rod
 ent buffet”&nbsp\;created by the grain left in the fields.And then there
  is always a possible surprise visitor.
 So if you’re interested in lea
 rning more about raptors and seeing some in action\, join us on November 2
 6th&nbsp\;(rain date\, the 27th)&nbsp\;for this outing. &nbsp\;We will mee
 t at the Tourist Information Centre in Sackville where we can&nbsp\;arrang
 e some&nbsp\;carpooling&nbsp\;to travel out to High Marsh Rd and some of t
 he other marsh roads in Sackville.&nbsp\;Bring binoculars and a scope if y
 ou have&nbsp\;one and&nbsp\;bring a snack or lunch&nbsp\;as we will contin
 ue into the early part of the afternoon.
