HISTORIC HAWK WATCH: MONTCLAIR LOOKOUT
Ringwood, New Jersey
9 am til 11 am on Sunday, September 24, 2006
NJAS' Weis Ecology Center
150 Snake Den Road
Ringwood, New Jersey
Since its founding in 1957, approximately one million migrating hawks have been counted over the Montclair Hawk Watch. Peak flights during the fall occur between the middle and end of September – making this the perfect time to go and hopefully see some of the 15,000 Broad-winged hawks that may pass the Lookout during this window of time. The Lookout, a NJAS Sanctuary, is the second oldest continuous hawk watch in North America. NJAS Staff and volunteers will be on hand during this visit to the Lookout to explain the dynamics of hawk migration and assist with the identification of raptors. Directions will be sent upon registration. Cost: FREE to members, $5 NM.
