CT Audubon Deer Pond: Raptor Migration Watch
September 19, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
RAPTOR MIGRATION WATCH
September 19, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
No fee
Throughout the fall and early winter, birds of prey are on the move! Hawks, eagles, vultures, and falcons will be flying south, moving to their wintering grounds. Deer Pond Farm’s high vantage point of 1,200 feet elevation is a great place to observe and learn about these birds. Stop in anytime between 1 – 4 p.m. to join Conservation Manager Stefan Martin on the lawn behind the building. We will have spotting scopes set up, binoculars to borrow, and other raptor ID resources to utilize. Bring lawn chairs, binoculars, sunscreen, and a spotting scope if you have them! Although we can’t guarantee sightings, there will be plenty to learn about and see during the program.
Registration here appreciated, but not required.
