Sunday, April 15, 8:30am, Leader: Hugh Simmons, Birding Basics—Fort Smallwood Park
Birding Basics is a series of walks for those new to bird watching, slower paced and focused on developing your bird watching skills. Fort Smallwood Park is a renowned spring hawk migration count site and is a nice overall birding location. We will start with a stroll around
the park and end at the hawk count site. Hawks tend to get up later in the morning so for those wanting the full hawk count experience you should plan to stay longer than two hours. $6.00 fee to enter the park. To register contact Hugh Simmons at lensonnature@gmail.com or
410-456-0017.
