Fall migration is heating up and birds are all over the city! Join TB Wildlife Photography LLC and fellow bird lovers at Hood Cemetery (4901 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144) for a Little Sit, which is stationary birding with a more social twist. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about common bird species in their own neighborhood, practice identifying birds using a field guide, learn to use binoculars, and hopefully see some migrant birds along the way. Some seating will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own lawn chair.
Binoculars provided by Nocs Provisions will be available for use at a first-come-first-served basis.

Event Details
With the help of Falconer Courtney Douds of Raptor Jawns, get up close and personal with two of Germantown's native birds of prey - a red-tailed hawk and a screech owl. Learn about each bird’s natural history and biology, and the roles they play in our local ecosystem!
Raptor Jawns was founded by Courtney Douds, a Master Falconer with over twenty years of experience working with birds of prey. Courtney became obsessed with falconry after seeing the Royal Tenenbaums in theaters as a child, sparking a lifelong passion.
She has volunteered at rehabilitation and research centers focusing on raptors, worked as an instructor at Ireland's School of Falconry, worked in abatement –falconry pest control– on a garbage dump in New Jersey, hunted with the Kazakh berkutchi golden eagle hunters of Mongolia, and has hunted with red-tails in the United States since becoming a licensed falconer in 2011.
