CRAWFORD COUNTY—The Crawford Park District has two events planned for Saturday, December 11.
Waterfowl Watch
Saturday, December 11, 9am Bucyrus Reservoirs***
Join Crawford Park District staff for an annual waterfowl watch as they monitor local waterfowl numbers at the nearby Bucyrus Reservoirs. Waterfowl migration is well underway in Ohio, with peak numbers for many duck and geese species occurring in November. December still provides opportunities to observe large numbers of stragglers with diving ducks arriving in large flocks as late migrators. Gulls are also well known to flock together in mass during the winter months, making it much easier to spot rarer species. Everyone will meet at Lowe-Volk Park, then carpool to the reservoirs. Be prepared to be outside. Binoculars are recommended. Lowe-Volk Park is located 3 miles north of US Route 30.
Owl Prowl
Saturday, December 11, 6pm Lowe-Volk Park, 2401 State Route 598
Eight species of owls call Ohio home, with only four species being full-time residents. Join Crawford Park District staff to learn about these amazing avian predators of the night. You will meet in Lowe-Volk Nature Center to learn about our local owls, then head outside for a night hike, searching for roosting birds in our woods. Binoculars are recommended.
