This workshop is a hands-on introduction to fall raptor banding migrating down the Lake Superior corridor. The emphasis will be on Northern Saw-whet owls.

In this workshop we will zoom in and focus on practicing plant identification skills. We will also zoom out and discuss the relationship between these plants and their environment. We will encounter many fascinating plants, some of them carnivorous, some of them mere inches tall at maturity, some with strikingly beautiful flowers, some of them are some of the rarest plants in the state!

This workshop, led by a seasoned Wolf Ridge Naturalist, will immerse you in the history and traditions of these classic winter activities as you explore the forests, trails, and scenic vistas of Wolf Ridge.

Join experienced Wolf Ridge Naturalists as they guide you through the essentials of winter birding, animal tracking, and identifying the subtle signs of life in the snow-covered boreal forest.
