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 mid-season migration flight which, in mid-October, can include several species of hawks and falcons as well as flocks of migrant Canada Geese, songbirds, and even scoters!

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 Audubon.

Meet at the Observatory for the 10 am start time, and stay as long as you’d like. The park usually closes by 4 pm in mid-October. Weather conditions may cancel.

State park reservations with Miller State Park and a small fee are required for visiting Pack Monadnock. For more information on park fees and reservations, as well as accessibility, visit here. For more information on this outing, contact Phil Brown at brown@harriscenter.org.

This field trip will be limited to 15 participants. As the event nears, visit the Seacoast Chapter site for more information and to sign-up.
