Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve

The small banding shack only has room for the banders and their equipment, and if visitors were outside by the banding nets the hawks would not come in. There is an observation blind in place so visitors can see the hawks being netted.

The blind is available from early September through mid-October. Visits must be arranged with the naturalist in advance, and visitors must be either a member of Friends of Hawk Ridge or an Adopt-A-Raptor sponsor.
