Trip--Full-day field trip to Flesher Pass to visit Rob Domenech's
raptor banding site or to watch raptors with Fred and Kathy Tilly. Meet
at 6:00 a.m. in the middle of the Adams Center parking lot. A strenuous
2-mile hike will be required to reach the banding site unless Rob uses
ATVs to transport people. Good hiking shoes are a must and dress
appropriately for weather conditions. The trip to the banding site will
be limited to 10 people. People wishing to watch raptors with the
Tilly's will have a less strenuous hike and should bring a lawn chair.
