[mou] Hawk Ridge: Swainson's Hawk & record passerines!

[Debbie Waters]

Hi folks,
The migration is in full swing!  Don't forget Hawk Ridge this fall--we've
got a lot of programs planned, and more staff at the overlook to answer
questions and point out passing birds.  For those wanting a quieter
experience, there are 9 other overlooks on our trail system from which to
view migrating raptors.  Trail maps can be found on our website.  Please
feel free to contact us for help planning your trip.

There's still time to register for Hawk Weekend, scheduled for September
23-25.  Dr. Mark Fuller will speak on Friday evening about raptor migration,
and humorist & birder Al Batt will tell "Bird Stories" on Saturday evening.
Join us!  More information can be found at

We had a terrific look at an immature SWAINSON'S HAWK yesterday afternoon at
Hawk Ridge.  It was also a record day for passerines: 271 birds were banded
in 8 hours!
