It always amazes me how fast the fall season at Hawk Ridge goes. This weekend is our last weekend of public programs & migration interpretation at the Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve main overlook. We hope you stop by to join staff & volunteers in celebrating another great season and bid the birds farewell on their journeys south!
