The BIG SIT and Hawk Watch Field Trip

The object of the "BIG SIT" is to tally as many bird
species as we can in a day from a single position. We'll be out on
the Lenoir lawn (at our hawk watch sight) overlooking the Hudson
River and Palisades. Bring a chair, drink and snacks and join us
anytime on that day and help us find the birds!
