POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN. RESCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY FEB 18 FROM 10AM TO 1PM (NOTE CHANGE IN DATE AND TIME)
Join biologist Nick Spero on a winter hike to look for bald eagles! This is a great time of year to see them! (On 1/16/15 Nick saw 22 bald eagles!). We may also see some Lesser Scaup, Hooded Mergansers, and Common Mergansers.
Difficulty: Moderately Strenuous (derived from the combination of cold weather and decent hiking–please don’t underestimate the cold!)
What to wear: PREPARE FOR THE COLD!!! Dress in warm layers with non-cotton articles of clothing, and don’t forget to wear gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, etc.
What to bring: binoculars, and guidebooks if you have any!
