On past trips we have been able to see Whooping Cranes along with numerous Sandhill Cranes. Northern Harriers and Rough-legged Hawks often frequent the area. A variety of ducks and geese should be there as well.    The last part of the evening will be spent in Bear Run Mines awaiting the appearance of the Short-eared Owls just before dusk. Viewing the owls is magical and you won’t want to miss it. No matter how many times you view these wonderful birds, it never gets old.    The hike will take place on Sunday, November 16, 2025 from 1:00-6:00 pm. Participants will meet at the Goose Pond Visitor’s Center parking lot at 1:00 pm. Much of the field trip will be by car with multiple stops to get out and view birds. Be sure to bring binoculars and a spotting scope if you have one. Many of the birds may be viewed at a distance.    This field trip is limited to 10 participants and prior registration is required. ABAS members will have priority until November 1. Acknowledgements for signing up will be sent out after October 17. To Register, email Laurie Voss at [email protected].
