Hawk Mountain Sanctuary
2009 Hawk Count


Each autumn since its founding in 1934, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary has recorded counts of raptors migrating past North Lookout. The official hawkwatch begins August 15 and extends through December 15.

At the end of the day, the official counter will post the count. Check after 6 pm for the day's tally.

Hawk migration counts on this web page are unofficial. Please contact the Director of Conservation Science at the Sanctuary with questions regarding their use.

Special Note for Visitors: New this year, trail admission will be collected at the Visitor Center. Members may proceed directly to the trail entrance.
