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 www.mascomabirds.org 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.
