Hawk Watch at Green Ridge (Wed. Birders)
October 1 @ 12:00 pm
Join on Oct. 1st with Wednesday Birders and/or Sat. Oct. 4th for an afternoon of hawk watching up on Green Ridge. David Vick will host. Although we no longer conduct formal counts, this week has produced some big days in the past but it all depends on favorable conditions. We will start at 12:00pm when afternoon winds and thermals have had a chance to develop. Bring a lawn chair and keep an eye out for Varied Thrush and Sooty Grouse on the way up.
Directions: Turn off on the 11 Road at Indian Ford Campground and continue north until the pavement ends at about 8 miles. Stay left on the dirt roads for about 8 miles following the USFS signs for Green Ridge Fire Lookout. I will have additional signs posted at the intersections. There are several pot holes and a couple of high spots near the end but any passenger will be fine if driven judicially. Car pooling is encouraged as parking is limited. Hope to see you up there!
