Field Trip: Saturday, October 11, 2008

Our field trip this week will be to the Franklin Mountain Hawkwatch, near Oneonta, NY.  It looks like the weather conditions will be favorable for a good day there.  The best times are following a rainy period and when winds are NNW.
It's about a 45-minute drive from Norwich. Anne and Charlene will leave at 8:30 and return in the early afternoon.  Call Charlene if you would like to go: (607) 334-9112.  If the weather predictions change, we will postpone the trip to another time.
You will find directions to the site and other information at the Franklin Mountain Hawkwatch website. There are experienced hawkwatchers at the site on all good days who are happy to share their knowledge and experience with visitors.  You, too, can be a spotter!
It is always colder and windier on the mountain than elsewhere, so dress warmly and bring water, a snack, binoculars, and a camera.  The views are fantastic!
The Chenango Bird Club invites YOU to enjoy the natural wonders of Chenango County and surrounding areas!
