My 5th grade project on Raptor Identification

I have always loved birds. When I lived in San Diego there was a beautiful red shouldered hawk that used to perch on the telephone pole behind our house. I loved to watch her from my tree house. I think she started my passion for raptors.

This Spring (2014) each student in my fifth grade grade class got to choose a "passion project".   A  passion project is a project where you get to pick anything you love to do.  I love birds and I always wanted to be better at identifying hawks falcons, vultures, and owls. I did a lot of research on tips to identify birds. I went to nature centers, spoke with raptor rescuers, read books and looked up facts online. This project is my summary of my research! The pics my mom and I took of ambassador birds from the Orange County Bird of Prey Center.
