Hawkwatch 2013

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/8/a/2/event_88011362.jpegJoin us for an exciting event in Ramona at the Wildlife Research Institute. You will have a chance to photograph a variety of wild raptors, eagles, falcons, hawks etc. This will be a unique opportunity to get fairly close to these beautiful birds. The demonstrations will last from 9:00 until 12:00. We can have lunch together some place in Ramona afterwards in a place to be determined.
