UPCOMING
FIELD TRIPS:
- Saturday April 19th – KHYV Peak –
Migrating Hawks
We will be doing some hawkwatching up at the Khyv Peak Overlook that is
accessed from Provo Canyon. We will be sitting enjoying the views and any
migrating hawks that fly by. It's a great chance to practice your skill at
identifying hawks in flight. We will meet at the
Khyv Peak overlook at 11 AM and stay until around 2 PM.
It'd be great if you could bring a chair and something to drink and come
see what is out migrating. Keep a close eye on the Facebook page in case
there are any last-minute changes because of weather or conditions.
Saturday April 26th – Antelope Island
We will be heading out to look at shorebirds and see what migrants have
showed up on Antelope Island. The sun comes early, so it will be an early
start to avoid poor light and heat shimmers. We will meet at the
American Fork Pioneer Crossing Park and Ride at 6:30 AM.
We will try to carpool. We will check the causeway for shorebirds and work
our way to Garr Ranch to see what is around. If you bring lunch, we will
stop and eat at the picnic area at Garr Ranch before heading back home.
I'm hoping to be back between 1 and 2 o'clock in American Fork. A reminder
that Antelope Island is a state park, so bring a pass if you have one,
also there is a $2 fee to cross the causeway per vehicle. (Entrance fee
$15 per vehicle, $10 seniors 65+, plus $2 causeway fee)
