The Bristol Bird Club's Burke's Garden Golden Eagle Field Trip
for Saturday, Feb. 15, has been CANCELLED due to developing weather and a
most unfavorable Saturday forecast.
BBC Vice-President Larry McDaniel called early this afternoon to discussed
the plans. Larry felt the trip should be called off and I agree. The
fieldtrip will again be an agenda item at the BBC's regular monthly meeting
Tuesday (Feb. 18). We will reschedule according to the wishes of the
membership.
The National Weather Service is calling for up to 4 inches of rain with
river and streams flooding during the next 48 hours. Larry said reports
have heavy snowfall at this hour in the region we would be traveling into.
There was already snowcover remaining in the garden. Some of the heaviest
and most constant rains are predicted for Saturday.
This is no weather to search for Golden Eagles, Rough-legged Hawks and other
desirable species in Burke's Garden at 3,000 feet elevation.
We'll go birding next time....
