A couple of weekends ago, we joined the Shaver's Creek Raptor Center team and volunteers on the Pennsylvania Winter Raptor Survey. This is to survey the different raptors within Pennsylvania during the winter months and put it into a database where their populations can be monitored. Many birders across the state participate in the Survey. On our 30 mile trip (which we took at around 15-30 mph), we spotted different raptors like Red-Tail Hawks, a Bald Eagle, a Turkey Vultures, Black Vultures, and a Cooper's Hawk. I spotted a couple of Red-Tails myself! :)
I also enjoy "birdering" (watching birders), so I got a few pictures of our humans. Here are a few shots from that day!
Andy and Colleen enjoy birding.

The Cooper's Hawk flew off pretty quickly, so that is a very bad quality picture of it, but I least I got it! :)
Enjoy and I'll be taking more pictures soon!!
