Fall brings thousands of migrating raptors – hawks, falcons, eagles, and their allies – to the Appalachian Ridges and Atlantic coast. Our field trip goes to one of the premier hawk-watching sites in the area: Pennsylvania’s Waggoner’s Gap, about a 2.5-hour drive from DC. Over the course of the day, we’ll learn how to ID raptors as they fly far overheard, and dive into the life history of these fascinating animals. Getting to the hawk-watch lookout – you’ll want to bundle up for this rocky ad open-air viewing site! – requires walking up a short, but rocky, trail to an outcropping of perched boulders. REGISTER
