Scott Rashid, founder and director of Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute, has been monitoring Northern Goshawks since finding his first nest in 1998. Since that time he has located numerous goshawk nests both in and around Rocky Mountain National Park.
Like other Northern Goshawk researchers, Scott has found that studying the species can be a bit interesting, as they often attack anyone or anything that comes near their nests and young. Northern Goshawks are often relentless when attacking prey and often won’t give up the chase until whatever they ar eattacking is either captured or escapes due to the situation.
Scott will talk about his years monitoring the species and his rehabilitation of injured Northern Goshawks. Scott’s presentation will outline his third book, "The Northern Goshawk: the Gray Ghost," published by Schiffer Publishing of Pennsylvania in 2016. Copies of his book will be available for purchase.
Join us on Oct. 13 at the Fort Collins Senior Center to learn more about gos- hawks, the "gray ghosts."
This program is free and the public is welcomed.
