        This Saturday, September 21st  will be our third trip to Turkey
Point Hawkwatch for 2002.  Richard Donham will lead this trip, which
usually involves a Fall warbler walk to the hawkwatch for  migrants.  The
warblering should be good, and the hawk watch excellent, with the right
weather.

        Meeting Place: Elk Neck State Park, Turkey Point parking lot.
        Time: 8:00 am (half day).
        Suggested equipment: bug spray (for ticks).
        Conveniences: trees and a "pot-a-potty" at the Hawkwatch.
        Admission:  None.
        Questions: call Richard Donham 610-932-0634 or email donham@udel.edu
