[mou] Hawk Ridge/Hawk Weekend

[PHOTODUDE]

hello to the group-I'm a newcomer to bird interest, my chief interest being photographing them.  I have heard about Hawk Ridge and have learned that next weekend is Hawk Weekend up at Hawk Ridge in Duluth.  I have the ability to either go up for the day on the weekend or I could go a day during the week (I'm in Mpls).  Assuming relatively equal weather, I'm wondering if the weekend up there will be much more congested with people and cars and make it more difficult to get a good observing spot on the ridge for photo purposes.  I have never been up there and so don't know the size of the overlook in terms of auto and people capacity.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has experience with hawk weekend and/or a weekday visit to the ridge at this time of year.  Thanks for any opinions or advice you can offer as to what to expect on hawk weekend vs a weekday.  IFeel free to respond off-list to jmmet at comcast.net.  Many thanks in advance.

Jim
