Join the Natural History Society of Maryland and biologist Nick Spero on a winter hike to look for bald eagles! This is a great time of year to see them! We may also see some Lesser Scaup, Hooded Mergansers, and Common Mergansers.
Nick Spero is a biologist who loves to observe wildlife. He was featured on NPR talking about foraging. Check out the awesome video.
Location: Loch Raven Reservoir, 9762 Loch Raven Drive. Park your car and meet in the large parking lot just north of the dam.

What to wear: PREPARE FOR THE COLD!!! Dress in warm layers with non-cotton articles of clothing, and don’t forget to wear gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, etc.
What to bring: binoculars and guidebooks if you have any!
