Hook Mountain Hawk Watch - from the Scenic Hudson to Hawk Handshakes

Friday, April 5 - 7:30pm - Congers Lake Memorial Park Community Center
Presented by Trudy Battaly and Drew Panko of Hook Mountain Hawk Watch

Volunteers at the Hook Mountain Hawk Watch have been documenting raptors since 1971. They count hawks from one of the most scenic locations along the Hudson River, with NYC on the horizon to the south and Bear Mountain to the north. Immersed in this natural world, they count hawks to monitor their populations and contribute to raptor conservation. Which species have decreased?  Which have increased?  Has global warming contributed to changes?  The presenters will present information about different species from 52 years of Hook data, gathered by local volunteers. The data engulfs the wonder of raptors to track the phenomenon of their migration.

Gather at 7:00 PM at the Congers Lake Memorial Park Community Center for refreshments and conversation with fellow birders and nature enthusiasts. Program starts at 7:30 PM.
