Eric describes his harrowing journey as he traveled from the northeast US to the South America following four broad-winged hawks on their migration. He did so on bicycle to move at the pace of their travel. Eric Masterson grew up roaming the Irish countryside for birds. When Ireland got too small, he started roaming the continent, and when that got to small he moved with his wife to North America. It couldn’t last, and so on September 6th 2016, he left his Hancock house, jumped on his bicycle and started pedaling south in the wake of four satellite-tagged broad-winged hawks on their migration to South America. The trip was part documentary for a book project and part pilgrimage to follow what Eric characterizes as the eighth natural wonder of the world. In his spare time, Eric manages the conservation easement portfolio at the Harris Center for Conservation Education. He is the author of Birdwatching in New Hampshire and is a regular contributor to NHPR. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
