(This is posted on behalf of Mary Beth Warburton who has organized another fun weekend of birding for members of NYSOA and the New York State Young Birders Club!)
Spring Weekend at Derby Hill! Saturday & Sunday, April 23 & 24, 2016 Sponsored by the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) Spend a weekend at one of the best spring sites for observing raptor migration in the country! Derby Hill has seen as many as 20,000 Broad-winged Hawks pass overhead in one day. It is easy to drive to and migration is at its peak in mid-April. Gerry Smith, Dave Wheeler, and Bernie Carr will be guides for the weekend. Participants will observe raptor migration, enjoy Saturday evening dinner at the Eis House restaurant, listen to an informal presentation on the history and other facts about Derby Hill during dinner, and have the opportunity to bird the varied trails in the area. Derby Hill is one of the premier locations for spring raptor migration, so come and see it for yourself!
