The fall hawk migration, especially between September 11 and 21 when thousands of Broad-winged Hawks can pass over in merely an hour or two, is a spectacle not to be missed. Seventeen different raptor species have been tallied from Mount Peter. The Highlands Audubon Society and friends are all invited to enjoy the spectacular view and migration from the platform atop Mount Peter. Our watch will continue daily from 9am to 5pm through October and possibly into November. We always welcome helpers on the mountain who can spot hawks, even if you can't identify them.
More eyes mean more hawks.
I would like a few volunteers to help clean up debris and trim back obstructions to our view. Clean up day will be Thursday, September 1 from 9am. An hour or two is all that is necessary, and migrant Bald Eagles are always possible. Volunteers are also needed to man the watch. If you can't handle an entire day, half days are available.
