Description:
Dave Mozurkewich will be leading this field trip to Fort Smallwood park in Anne Arundel County for hawks and other spring migrants. The park is a great place to watch spring migration on days with winds from the southwest. The fun begins around sunrise. For the first few hours, thousands of songbirds can be seen flying north along the east side of the park. By about 9 AM, hawks begin to replace the songbirds and can continue throughout the day. We will take time off from the flight to search the park for warblers and flycatchers that decided to rest in the park before heading north across the Patapsco River.
Meet Dave anytime after the park opens at 5:30 AM. Be prepared to pay the $6 admission fee. Bring water and dress appropriately for the weather. Reservations required.
