Raptor ID Class at Cheyenne Mountain State Park



COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait, it's a bird! But what kind of bird is it? 



Learn to identify our feathered friends at a free Raptor Identification class March 22, at Cheyenne Mountain State Park.

Class begins at 1 p.m. and will be taught by local raptor expert and photographer Debbie Barnes Shankster. Participants are encouraged to take a hike through the park and practice their skills on their own after the class. 



Those interested must call the Visitor Center at 719-576-2016 to register.

The class is free but a valid parks pass is required on all vehicles entering the park. For more information about Cheyenne Mountain State Park visit http://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/Parks/cheyennemountain
