The first day of the Catskills Lark in the Park 2015 was rainy and raw, causing some events to be postponed or cancelled. The would-be Pepacton paddlers headed instead to Woodchuck Lodge with hopes of clearing weather and a late afternoon paddle after getting an up close look at many wonderful birds. We didn’t get to paddle, but we had a great time seeing and learning about Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Barn Owls, Screetch Owls, Red Tail Hawks, Broad Wing Hawks and Kestrels. A couple of us even got a turn holding owls!
The weather couldn’t have been nicer for Sunday’s events….here are a few pictures from the bird program and the Shavertown Trail Hike. Here is Annie Mardiney, Wildlife Rehabilitator with a few of her charges:
