A Red-tailed Hawk is circling as it hunts for its prey. The rabbit pauses in its quest for food sensing danger. It freezes. Then quickly darts for cover. The fierce raptor makes a stealthy move towards its intended target. The rabbit flees quickly for the safety of its shelter and narrowly escapes the outstretched talons of the hawk. The rabbit is safe for now. The hawk will continue its hunt in hopes of catching a different rabbit, and its next tasty meal.

Join us during our third annual Wildcat Hills Bioblitz as we discover the biodiversity of Wildcat Hills State Recreation Area!
Come join us as we learn all about the songbirds, raptors and waterfowl that call Barr Lake home! We will walk along the prairie, check out our backyard bird feeders, and walk to the dam in order to try and identify the special adaptations that allow the birds to thrive in their ecosystems!
Join us for a morning of birding with expert mentors and raise funds for Summer Bird Camp scholarships! Birders of all abilities (including first-timers!) may participate in the count. Ask friends, family, neighbors and community members to sponsor your birding. Sponsorship can be based on the number of species seen (ex. $1 per species), or it can be a flat amount (ex $25 for the day).
Stick around afterwards for a Camp Reunion! More details to come.
