Hawk Watch at Pack Monadnock with the Seacoast Chapter

Join Phil Brown, the Harris Center’s Bird Conservation Director, for a half day of hawk watching at the Pack Monadnock Raptor Observatory in Peterborough. We will hope for a good migration flight which, in early October, can include a final push of broad-wings and peak counts of several other species of raptors, including Sharp-shinned Hawk, American Kestrel, osprey, and Peregrine Falcon. Learn hawk watching ID tips from the experts and learn about the different migration strategies and behaviors of up to 15 migratory raptor species. During a visit to the hawk watch, you’ll experience NH’s birding culture and immerse yourself in a long-standing community science project that is a partnership between the Harris Center and NH parks. For more information about the observatory visit https://harriscenter.org/conservation-research/pack-monadnock-raptor-observatory. Meet at the Observatory for the 10 am start time, and stay as long as you’d like. Weather conditions may cancel. State park reservations with Miller State Park and a small fee are required for visiting Pack Monadnock.
