Today is Wednesday, Sept 14th. We're off to Whitecap Mountain to look for Crossbills, hawks and Ravens.
The shot tower was built in the 1800s and was originally used to manufacture lead shot for muskets and muzzle loading shotguns. Because lead required a 150 foot drop to properly form a shot, the tower stood 75 feet tall with a 75 foot shaft below.
