On June 24th, HMA offered the first of many virtual programs to come featuring “Photographing Hawks on the Wing” with Josh Haas. We are excited to bring you such content and will be posting recorded sessions in our News section after each program. The first program was a great success, with 76 visitors joining in, many comments and questions, and significant engagement with our constituents and followers.
Next month, we’re excited to feature Brian Wargo on July 22nd at midnight EST, who will introduce HawkCount and the basics of using raptor migration data.
Josh Haas is a Michigan birder, photographer and strong Hawk Migration Association partner. He has been birding and photographing seriously for nearly 20 years with a passion for teaching others ID, birding by ear and photographing birds in flight. His photographic background and involvement with raptors at local nature centers as well as raptor migration sites spawned his movie “Hawks on the Wing” teaching viewers raptor ID in flight through the use of video and audio commentary, including multiple species on screen side-by-side.
His movie, reference guide, information about hawk-watching, tours, workshops as well as galleries with his finest images are all available at www.hawksonthewing.com. Josh’s passion started with raptors but he can be found birding and photographing in all seasons, often with his wife, daughter and son.
