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.
