Birding Through the Seasons: Hawk Watch at Wachusett Mountain
Description
Early fall is a great time to search the skies for soaring hawks, falcons, and eagles as the transforming weather summons a change in season and signals the urge to migrate. We will check for these raptors and other migratory birds from atop the highest point in Eastern MA. Participants should bring a bag lunch, water and snacks.

Instructions
Your expert birder and naturalist will be Chris Walz, Property Manager at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary. Chris will be communicating further details, including meeting location, as well as any changes to your trip, so please ensure that you have provided us with a current email address that is checked on a regular basis.
What to bring: In general, please dress for the weather (layers, sunscreen, hats, good
walking shoes) bring water and appropriate amounts of food for your comfort
depending on the length of the outing. A good set of binoculars is also recommended.
Accommodations: Most of the field trips are designed to include leisurely hikes on
flat but uneven terrain and sand. We will be meeting at birding locations and using
personal vehicles. Please reach out to Chris with any mobility concerns in advance so that we can make accommodations as needed.
