Skywatch at Howard County Conservancy

November 2 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Meet at the parking lot.

This trip will be strictly a sky watch for late-migrating raptors and other potential goodies. Our main target will be Golden Eagle; while not expected, early November is the best time to catch one flying over Howard County. We will watch the skies and tally the birds as long as conditions are productive. Hope for a north wind! Bring water, lunch, hat, sunscreen, light-colored sunglasses, comfortable lawn chair (recliners are best), binoculars, scope, and camera if you like. Participants can also walk the Conservancy trails if sky-watching proves non-productive. Facilities available.

Leader – TBD

Directions: On the left of the parking lot is a barn. Walk to the right of the barn (on the path along the fenced garden) for a few yards. Make a left at the brown donation box with the green sign on it. The Skywatch is up ahead on that path that runs through the middle of the meadow.
