Hike scheduled for Feb. 17
On Saturday, Feb. 17, naturalists Scott Silver and Pete Salmansohn will lead the monthly Putnam Highlands Audubon Society bird-watching hike at Little Stony Point near Cold Spring. It’s estimated that 150 eagles can be found between Croton and Beacon. Meet at the parking lot on Route 9D at 10 a.m. and bring binoculars if you have them.
The society also will present a free talk on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 2 p.m. at the Butterfield Library by Carolyn Llewelyn, who will discuss her experiences at the National Audubon camp on Hog Island off the coast of Maine. Supported by a PHAS scholarship, Llewelyn spent a week honing her skills in environmental education. See putnamhighlandsaudubon.org.
