In July of 2013 we were fortunate to have in Armenia Dr. Keith Bildstein, Sarkis Acopian Director of Conservation Science, from Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in the U.S. He is among the preeminent experts in the world on raptors (“գիշատիչ թռչուններ”). He came to Armenia for research on Levant Sparrowhawks in the Meghri region. He conducted this research with Siranush Tumanyan.  His talk was on the Movement Ecology of Turkey Vultures in North and South America, a topic he has studied for more than 10 years. He also talked about the research he and Siranush Tumanyan were doing in Meghri.
