Bird Identification: Buzzards

How to identify Common, Rough-legged, Long-legged, and Honey Buzzards.

Identifying raptors is one of the greatest challenges in bird identification. In this webinar, we will tackle a group whose confident identification requires practice. Those who can identify buzzards also have a good foundation for distinguishing other similarly sized raptors.

The goal of the webinar is to correctly identify not only the common Common Buzzard but also the rarer Rough-legged, Long-legged, and Honey Buzzards in all their various plumages and morphs. We will learn, using photos and illustrations, how to spot the right identification features. Which characteristics are suitable for differentiation and which are less so? When can each species be expected in my region? Are there hybrids, and can they be identified?

In this webinar, you will learn bird identification from a professional:

• What to look for in an unknown buzzard?
• How is age and sex determined?
• What important features are there besides plumage?
• Where and when do which buzzards occur?

Who is this webinar suitable for?

Both beginner and more experienced birdwatchers will benefit from this.
