Hawkwatch Open House

The Delaware-Otsego Audubon Society (DOAS) will host an open house at the DOAS Sanctuary and Franklin Mountain Hawkwatch in Oneonta. The event is free and open to the public.

At 10 a.m., a Franklin Mountain hawk counter will conduct a workshop on how to identify flying hawks. At 11:30 a.m., there will be a special activity for kids at the barn, as well as a DOAS board member-led trail walk around the Sanctuary, ending at the Hawkwatch. In the afternoon, we hope to be able to schedule a live raptor program. A variety of snacks and drinks will be offered.

The address of the Sanctuary is Grange Hall Spur Road, Oneonta; directions may be found at https://doas.us/conservation-and-environment/franklin-mountainsanctuary .

Raffle items for the upcoming October 21 Charter Dinner will be on display, and raffle tickets will be available to purchase. Bird-friendly coffee will also be available for sale.
