The Observatory has another great field trip on the calendar. It is our annual Winter Blues Blowout Party. This year it will be in conjunction with the Ohio Young Birder’s Club, so we will have lots of great company and eyes to see owls and wintering hawks which is what Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area in Wyandot County is known for. Bring a dish to share for the potluck lunch. Electricity is available for crock pots. Hot and cold drinks and tableware will be provided.

The field trip will begin at 9 a.m. at the Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area Headquarters on Twp. Hwy 115. During the morning hours we will carpool to the regular spots to see owls, hawks, and waterfowl. Recent sightings may divert us during the trip. After lunch some choose to continue birding on their own. Many stay to see the Short-eared Owls at dusk. Join us for another fine field trip! Dress for the weather and be prepared to have some fun!

Please call 419 898-4070 to let us know that you’re coming and how many people you’ll be bringing with you. Meet at the Headquarters Building at 9 a.m. to carpool around the area. For printable directions, click here.
