SUMMARY:Hawk Watch at Snickers Gap

Bring a chair if you plan to stay a while.  Optional Hike to Bear’s Den\, 8:00 – 10:00am: Prior to the hawk watch\, those interested can meet Patrick and Larry at 8:00am to hike up to Bear’s Den (1.2 miles round trip) along a fairly challenging section of the Appalachian Trail for a beautiful view of the Shenandoah Valley\, finding bird migrants along the trail. Limit 15 for both.  Registration required. \nQuestions: Contact Patrick Lewis at plewis@loudounwildlife.org.
