November 15 Fall Migration Field Day to be hosted by Allamakee County Conservation

The Allamakee County Conservation Board (ACCB) will be hosting a Fall Migration Field Day Saturday, November 15. The day will include a guided hike out onto the spillway in Harpers Ferry to view migrating waterfowl in the main channel, and maps and directions to local birding hot spots that can be picked up at the Driftless Area Education and Visitors Center in Lansing.

The hike will leave from the spillway parking area at the southern end of Red Oak Road, across the highway from Mohn’s Fish Market near Harpers Ferry, at 10 a.m. Pre-registration is not required. Following the hike, naturalist Erin Cubbon will be out on Red Oak Road in between Harpers Ferry and Lansing with binoculars and spotting scopes ready to talk birds with visitors until 3 p.m.

Self-guided field trips are available anytime throughout the weekend. Maps and directions to each site will be available from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday the week prior to the Fall Migration Field Day at the Driftless Area Education and Visitors Center, which is located at 1944 Columbus Road, Lansing.
