Wednesday, September 23rd, we’re hosting a class to sharpen up your raptor ID skills ahead of the peak flight. Then the next morning, you can practice your skills at Pollywog Pond and the count site’s platform before the flurry of festival fun begins.

Are Great Horned Owls the most “owly” owl? For those of us in North America, Great Horned Owls are some of the most commonly seen owls. Plus, their larger size makes them easier to spot than their smaller cousins, like screech owls. Do you agree or disagree? What do you feel is the most “standard” example of an owl in your part of the world?

Today marks when it all began. On August 23rd, 1977, our founder Steve Hoffman hiked up to the Wellsville Mountains HawkWatch and began officially monitoring the migration there for the first time. What did that count look like 48 years ago? Nine raptors flew by, made up of four Northern Harriers, three Cooper’s Hawks, one Swainson’s Hawk, and one American Kestrel.

To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we're taking a hike down memory lane to celebrate our shared success and remember all the people and places that helped us get to where we are today. Check out the 40th anniversary hub to stay up to date on all the ways you can celebrate with us: https://hawkwatch.org/40th-anniversary-hub/

We’re planning to party like it’s 1986, and we are thrilled to have a local brewery supplying the libations. If you joined us for the Migration Kick-Off event last week, you know these folks have a good time, and even better drinks.
