JEWEL BASIN HAWK WATCH FIELD TRIP

September 18, 2022

free

Dan Casey will lead a trip to the Jewel Basin Hawk Watch site on Sunday, September 18 from 9AM-6 PM. The second half of September offers peak numbers and diversity of passing raptors. We expect to see more than 100 hawks of 10 or more species, if conditions are right. This trip involves a 2.2 mile hike of moderate difficulty (each way), gaining 1,400 vertical feet from the Jewel Basin parking lot. Attendees should wear sturdy footwear; hiking poles are recommended. You should also bring binoculars, water, lunch and clothing layers for changing weather conditions (we will cancel or reschedule if weather conditions are unsuitable). The trip is limited to 10 participants. Please contact Dan at (406) 270
-5941 to sign up and get more information. Carpooling will be encouraged for vaccinated people as the road to
the Jewel Basin is rough and parking limited. Time of trip includes both driving from Bigfork and hiking to the
viewing area.
