I chased—and found—all 53 of the Raptors that can be found in the Lower 48 states—my version of a Raptor Big Year. RaptorQuest - Chasing America's Raptors, is about my adventures, misadventures, successes and failures. From minus 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 about the people I met and the things I learned.
