Migratory Bird Walk

Taconic State Park - Copake Falls Area
Meet at Orphan Farms location. There is something magical about clear night skies and listening for animals as you take a stroll by under a full moon. This is not a spooky walk, it's a family friendly roll and stroll to learn why Dark Skies matter. We will also be shedding some "light" on many misunderstood creatures of the night. Flashlights or headlamps encouraged. Appropriate footwear required. Strollers and mobility assistance devices approved for the HVRT are welcome.
