Scott Harris will share with us how he spent 17 months, chasing 53 Raptors across 34 states — his version of a Raptor Big Year. He'll tell us all about his adventures, misadventures, successes, and failures. From -36 degree days, to days over 100 degrees, to getting the bird just in time, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes. It’s about the birds—of course—but it’s also about the people he met, the things he learned and why he’s already working on his next adventure.
