Hawk Watch Set for April 15 at Erie Bluffs State Park

The Presque Isle Audubon Chapter and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources are co-sponsoring a hawk watch for April 15 at Erie Bluffs State Park, Girard Township, Erie County.

Not only take the family to see hawks and other raptors as they migrate north, but get a close up view of live birds of prey from the Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Experts with binoculars and spotting scopes will be on hand to ID hawks and other migrating birds. Raptors likely to be observed include: Osprey, Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Red-shouldered Hawk, Broad-winged Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Rough-legged Hawk and American Kestrel.
