Each fall, hawks, falcons, and other raptors soar overhead as they make their incredible journey south. Join a naturalist guide for a hike up the hill, where you'll watch the skies and look for these powerful birds riding the wind. Along the way, you’ll learn how to spot different raptor species, explore the amazing science behind their migration, and hear about the challenges they face on their long flight. You’ll also discover simple ways people of all ages can help protect these birds and the habitats they rely on.
