Hawk Watch at Mount Sugarloaf State Reservation September 11, 2010

On a good day, hawk migration can be one of the greatest shows of the fall season. This is the time of year when many species of hawks migrate over mountain ranges toward their southern wintering grounds. If weather conditions are right, we should see sharp-shinned hawks, red-shouldered hawks, and American kestrels, as well as nonraptorial species such as shrikes, ravens, and vultures. Registration is required. Call 413-584-3009 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=278-AR10SU1 for more information.
