Skywatch at Howard County Conservancy
| Trip leader: Russ Ruffing Recorder: Russ Ruffing |
Date of trip: November 2, 2024 |
| Location: Howard County Conservancy at Mount Pleasant Skywatch | Number attending: 12 |
|
Only six people showed up for the skywatch, but the Club’s Beginning Birder field trip stopped by later and some of those participants stayed for a while, which boosted the total that signed in. Most people that signed in stayed only for an hour or two. Even though the conditions were decent for migration (a northwesterly wind), it was a pretty slow 3.5 hours. |
