Hawk watching is great fun everywhere you watch.
At Hook, we watch hawks with a view of the Tappan Zee Bridge and the
Empire State Building to our south, the Bear Mountain Tower to the
north, and the mighty Hudson River below us. We are fortunate
to have volunteers who are devoted to the hawks. They spot the
hawks, identify them, count them, and keep careful records.
While having fun watching these magnificent raptors in action, they
contribute to the better understanding of raptor population trends.
We celebrate
our counters, with special thanks for every data sheet they
submit. And we thank all the hawk watchers who help us spot
the hawks and accomplish our part of the raptor conservation
mission. If you have helped us count, thank you!
If you have never been up to Hook, come join us! We can use
your eyes! |
