This is a reminder notice that Mascoma Chapter of New Hampshire  
Audubon has arranged a hawk watching trip to Pack Monadnock on  
Saturday September 15, 2012. Carpoolers are to meet at 8:30 AM in the  
commuter parking lot off River Road in Norwich adjacent to the Ledyard  
Bridge. We'll return to that lot in late afternoon, thus allowing as  
much as several hours at Pack Monadnock, one of the premier hawk- 
watching sites in New Hampshire and New England. Mid September is  
typically the time for a major southward movement of Broad-winged  
Hawks, but other species are also likely. A NH Audubon hawk watcher/ 
guide will be present at Pack Monadnock. Bring binoculars, scopes,  
drinking water, and lunch. NH Audubon does not charge for this  
excursion which is open to the public, but there is a $4.00 admission  
fee for the NH State Park (NH residents over 65 admitted without  
charge). Additional information is available at
http://www.nhaudubon.org/locations/raptor-observatories

and

If the weather that day is unfavorable for sighting migrating hawks,  
this field trip is to visit alternative locations in the Connecticut  
River valley, looking especially for migrant waterbirds and landbirds.
