Title: RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors

Description: Scott Harris spent 17 months chasing 53 Raptors across 34 states – his version of a Raptor Big Year. RaptorQuest is about his adventures, misadventures, successes and failures. From -36 degree days, to ones over 100 degrees, to just getting on the bird just in time, to the frustrations of missing one by minutes. It’s about the birds of course, but it’s also aboutthe people he met, the things he learned and why he’s already working onhis next adventure.

Presenter: Scott Harris and his wife Randi retired to South Carolina in March of 2020 – something Scott will tell you was one of the best decisions they have made

in their 45 years of marriage. It was also when he first started birding – a hobby he never imagined himself participating in, but now can’t imagine living without.His interests and hobbies include the largest collection of John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley in the worldand playing harmonica in a blues band. He has written more than fifty books in the past seven years and the one he’ll be discussing is his first entrée into the world ofbirding and birds.That book, RaptorQuest: Chasing America’s Raptors, is the story of hisyear-long adventure tracking down every species of Raptor in the Lower 48states.
