Discover upper Rock Creek’s watershed with a variety of habitats. We will start along open fields and marshy areas next to Bowie Mill Park with the opportunity to see a variety of sparrows, hawks and fall migrants and turkeys if we’re lucky. Previous lists included 8 species of sparrows including fox, white crowned, swamp and savannah sparrows. We had great views of meadowlarks and a raven flyover in 2022. Depending on the weather, we’ll opt to explore a section of the stream valley for woodpeckers and other resident woodland species. Start at 8:00 AM at Bowie Mill Park https://www.montgomeryparks.org/parks-and-trails/bowie-mill-local-park/ next to Sequoyah Elementary School. Limit: 16. Reservations required. For reservations and more information contact the leader Kathy Reitz [email protected] Deborah Hanley will co-lead.
