Waiting...

Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania

for the hawks to fly by. Hawk watching was a regular occurrence in the birding schedule, heading to various spots hoping to see numerous hawks of many species flying past. This was one of several places operated as a spot to look at migrating hawks as they streamed past. Hawk Mountain Sanctuary has been operating since 1934 https://www.hawkmountain.org/).

Wow! So you have been to Hawk Mountain! I used to go pretty often but the crowds began to get to me. Still, a special place to watch hawks.

Interesting shot for this time. Now at the popular birding spots like Bosque and Bolsa Chica there are many more photographers than in this photo. "V"
