Vic Berardi - The History, the Raptors and the Data
March 3, 2022 @ 7PM
On March 3, at 7 p.m., Vic Berardi will give a virtual presentation on “The Illinois Beach State Park Hawk Watch: The History, the Raptors, and the Data.” Vic will discuss counting migrating raptorial birds (i.e., hawks, falcons, and eagles) each fall for 22 years at the Illinois Beach State Park Hawk Watch. He will highlight the species that migrate through Illinois on their autumn journey to their southern wintering grounds, and the importance of documenting this annual wildlife event. Vic, who founded the Illinois Beach State Park Hawk Watch, is an expert on raptor identification and an exquisite wildlife photographer, and his photos have been used in many books on raptor identification. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Hawk Migration Association of North America.
