Where The Raptors Soar!
A Day at the Hawk Watch
September 14th
|
|
Since 1976, the Rockfish Gap Hawk Watch has been an official hawk watch site in North America. Every year, during the fall hawk migration period between Aug 15 and Nov 30, volunteers man the hawk watch every day to identify and count all of the migrating hawks that fly down the Blue Ridge Mountains. The location on Afton Mountain is a hot spot for migrating raptors.
This year's Open House will be Sunday, September 14th from 11-3pm on the grounds of the Inn at Afton. Come see the magnificent hawks make their way south, featuring a presentation by the Wildlife Center of Virginia at 1 pm, and free refreshments!
On peak days in September one can see thousands of hawks flying over in a single day. Last year, 8,202 hawks were counted on September 17th alone, with 24,379 hawks during the whole month of September. Visitors are welcome to come anytime during the migration season to watch, learn and even help spot hawks in the sky.
