Late September Hawk Mountain Trip

The Millersville University Mammalogy Class helped Hawk Mountain Sanctuary with their rodent trapping efforts.  Multiple White-footed mice, Eastern Chipmunks and shrew species were captured.  Below are some pictures of students in the field and some of the things they saw.
