Burke's Garden Golden Eagle Field Trip

You are invited to join members of the BBC for one of the region's most 
anticipated annual field trips.  For nearly two decades our birders have made 
this exciting day trip to Burke's Garden to search for Golden Eagles and 
Rough-legged Hawks.  In addition we often see wintering Red-headed Woodpeckers, 
Horned Larks and waterfowl.  Throw in several gorgeous Fox Squirrels and the 
beauty of this great valley and you have a day afield equal to none other in 
the region.  Here is birding in this almost volcano-like valley, surrounded by 
high mountains with northern spruce.  You and fellow birders will go afield at 
3,000 feet in the Allegheney Mountains.  We buy our lunch at a country store 
and visit a U.S. Post Office that is lost in a time warp.

Let's go birding.....
