Registration

Join biologist Nick Spero on a winter hike to look for bald eagles! This is a great time of year to see them! We may also see some Widgeon, Lesser Scaup, Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Bufflehead, and Redhead ducks.

Difficulty: Moderately Strenuous (derived from the combination of cold weather and decent hikingplease don’t underestimate the cold!)

What to wear: PREPARE FOR THE COLD!!! Dress in warm layers with non-cotton articles of clothing, and don’t forget to wear gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, etc.

What to bring: binoculars and guidebooks if you have any!

As always this time of year, snow is a possibility! Please check back on Meetup or our Facebook page in the case of cancellation or postponement if snow is a possibility. We will try to make the call the day before at the latest.

The exact meetup location will be sent to registered participants the week before the field trip.

Nick Spero is a biologist who loves to observe wildlife. He was featured on NPR talking about foraging. Check out the awesome video HERE.
