The Mascoma Chapter of NH Audubon will be hosting a trip to the Putney Mountain Hawkwatch on Sat Sept 20, 8am to mid-afternoon.

Mark Krenitsky will lead the trip. The plan is to meet at Herricks Cove at 8 a.m., spend an hour or two there to see what is migrating through. Then the group will head up to Putney Mountain. The highest count of Broadwinged Hawks in 2007 was 1290 in a day. You never know what and how many you will see.

Bring a lunch, maybe a lawn chair and your binoculars.

There may be a rain date, so email Mark so he can let you know if he needs to reschedule (see mascomabirds.com for the address).

The Putney Mountain Hawk Watch is located on a prominent N - S ridge at an elevation of 1660'. Putney is in the Southeast corner of the state, exit 4 off of I-91, 20 miles north of the Massachusetts border and 5 miles west of the Connecticut River. The mountain has excellent views NW, W, S, E and NE. Typical flight path comes from the NE in the Connecticut River Valley and heads SW into the West River Valley.
