red shouldered hawk fun facts

since 1934, hawk mountain sanctuary is an international center for raptor conservation, education, observation and research. our all-ages learning center and 2,600-acre wildlife santuary is open nearly every day of the year. from august through december, you can join us in the time-honored tradition of watching for migrant hawks, eagles and falcons that soar past our scenic overlook. our official 'counter' will tally the birds that pass, and will announce and identify approaching birds.
