Bird Watching & Eagle Viewing

This is a not-to-be-missed event, appropriate for birdwatchers from novice to expert! Experienced birders will take groups on the trails at Letcher-Basin Land & Water Reserve to search for the birds that live and pass through. The latest sightings have included various woodpeckers, chickadees, bluebirds, turkey vultures, native sparrows, and many more species. Along the hike, we will have a spotting scope set on an eagles’ nest! Two adult eagles have been raising three eaglets in this nest, and while we can’t guarantee it (nature does its own thing), they have been reliably spotted for weeks. Nature guide extraordinaire, Mary Jo Adams, has been watching and photographing the nests at Letcher Basin for years! She will give a history of the adults and eaglets she has seen grow and return year after year. There will be a trailer ride that can accommodate those that do not wish to walk.
