Wild Animal Wednesdays! This Week - CT Hawk Migration Viewing scheduled

Every Autumn the majority of our New England Hawks will migrate south for the winter.  September and October are great times to catch a glimpse of the many hawks migrating.  With a good pair of binoclulars you can see all species of hawks from Peregrine Falcons, Red Tailed Hawks and Osprey.  If your luck you might even see a Bald Eagle! 

The Hawk Migration Viewing Event will take place On Saturday, October 24, 2009, from 10 a.m. to noon.  The New Haven Land Trust will feature East Rock Park Ranger Dan Barvir leading a fall bird walk through the Quinnipiac Meadows/Eugene Fargeorge Preserve.

This event has been rescheduled from Saturday October 17th until this Saturday October 24th.

Of particular interest will be the fall hawk migration that will be in full effect. Ranger Dan will also touch on the importance of preservation of wetlands along the Quinnipiac River as they include bird habitats. Capacity 30 individuals at $5 per person payment to the New Haven Land Trust in advance- register soon.
