Raptor migration fascinates observers across the globe as these impressive birds make their way from breeding territories to their wintering grounds, which are often thousands of miles apart. The Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA), is committed to the conservation of raptors (birds of prey) through scientific research. This research includes establishing hawk watches throughout North America so that the hawks can be counted as they migrate south each Fall.

There are hundreds of hawk watches located throughout the United States, but New Jersey, with its unique topography is home to 14 such hawk watches. The Scott’s Mountain Hawk Watch, with its easy access and impressive number of hawks counted each season, makes it a must visit during the hawk migration season.

Join members of the Scott's Mountain Hawk Watch, located at Merrill Creek Reservoir, for a workshop designed to introduce participants to hawk watching.

The workshop will begin indoors at the Merrill Creek Visitor Center and will end with a visit to the Scotts Mountain hawk watch located at Merrill Creek at the inlet outlet tower parking lot. If you would like, bring along a bag lunch and stay a little longer at the watch.
