WRA On the Road with Education: Lake Erie MetroPark Hawkfest: 9-19-2009





























It was a great day, and wonderful weather as we presented to over 250 people at the park. Although we did not see many birds passing through, we enjoyed a day devoted to this annual migration event. We were happy to see some old friends there and to meet new ones!
