| The NorthEast Hawk Watch (NEHW) is a registered not-for-profit organization established
and run by volunteers to increase awareness, appreciation and protection of our daytime
birds of prey. We do that primarily by promoting hawk watching, the study of hawk
migration, throughout New England, eastern New York, and northeastern New Jersey.
We have several hundred members spread across eight states and work with local bird
clubs, Audubon chapters, other hawk-watching organizations, and individuals to promote
hawk watching in the northeast.
The most tangible benefit of membership is that every spring
we publish a hawk migration report, approximately
36 pages long, covering the spring and
fall migration hawk watch counts for most of the 8-state area for the previous year.
These reports provide the most complete and authoritative data on hawk migration counts in
the northeast, and trends in those counts, available anywhere. The reports are
mailed to all members. We don't have club meetings, but we sponsor periodic
conferences on hawks and hawk migration in the northeast. These are usually held in the
early spring every four years. Our
next conference is
planned for April, 2011. (Our
last conference
was March 18, 2006.)
For more information about hawk watching and hawk migration, please contact one of the
people listed below. They can tell you when and where to hawk watch in your area,
provide additional information on hawks and hawk identification, and supply report forms
if you'd like to submit counts.
To join the NorthEast Hawk Watch and receive the annual hawk watch report mailed out
each spring, simply print out, complete and return the membership
form. Membership dues are $10 a year. (Individual copies, including back issues are available
for $5 each plus $1 postage.)
