Join INHF and other “hawkers” as we watch the river for raptors moving south along the Des Moines River. Conservation professionals will help identify the birds as they pass. Viewing will be on the west overlook on the Woodward side of the HTB. Parking is on the east side, off of QF in Boone County. A half-mile walk on level ground is required.
Can't make it out to the bridge? There is a second program area at the Madrid Library from 9:00 to noon.
