We plan to stop for lunch at the McDonald’s in Linton before we begin searching Greene County for birds. \nWe will spend the afternoon and evening trying to find as many birds of prey as possible. We will remain in the area through sunset in hopes of seeing Short-eared Owls emerge from their daytime roost. Participants can expect to spend a lot of time driving in their vehicles until we find a raptor to study. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Registration is not required\, but is greatly appreciated. Please contact Scott at (317) 850-4801 or msenochs@comcast.net if you have any questions.
