Hawk Watch with Scott Weidensaul
September 28 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
In partnership with Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG), join a hawk watch with renowned ornithologist and best-selling nature writer Scott Weidensaul at Birch Ridge Community Forest. Scott will share his deep expertise with participants as well as his experiences from over 20 years of working with birds in the field across the globe. This unique experience is not to be missed!
You will hike up to higher ground to watch for migrating hawk and raptor species as they head to warmer climates in preparation for winter. Late September is an ideal time to see migrating birds, which may pass by in the hundreds or even thousands. You might even notice other non-migrating bird species congregating nearby!
Make sure to bring your binoculars, dress accordingly for the weather, and bring sunscreen/bug spray and (if you like) a camp chair for sitting. This event requires walking 0.25 mile over a slight incline to the viewing area.
The inclement weather day is Sunday 9/29.
This event is free for MMRG members. Non-members please consider a $15 donation to support MMRG events.
Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Register today.
