This post was approved by the Birdnews moderators Hello Everyone, I teach in the forestry department at Fleming College and in one of my courses I teach students stick nest identification. This is an important part of their learning because in the forest industry there are many conservation measures put in place around raptor and heron nests and identifying them correctly can affect what protections are implemented (referred to as areas of concern). Fleming College's Forestry Technician students are the ones that are often in the field collecting data and looking for and identifying these values. To help me, I am looking for good quality raptor/stick nest photos that we can use to train and test them on. Desired photos would show the whole nest, some or all of the tree that it is in and would not have any adult birds in the nest. Photos of any of the following would be appreciated: - American Crow - Bald Eagle - Broad-winged Hawk - Common Raven - Cooper's Hawk - Great Blue Heron - Northern Goshawk - Red-shouldered Hawk - Red-tailed Hawk - Sharp-shinned Hawk These photos would not be posted publicly as they would be used in my lectures and labs and I would provide whatever credit is requested. If you have any further questions or would like to submit photos, please contact me or send them to benjamin.walters@flemingcollege.ca Thank you, Ben Walters
