Hawk Mountain Activities

Your Bird Feeder

 

This looks like a great place for bird watching. Get your hiking boots and bird watching binoculars and head to Hawk Mountain.

Hawk Mountain is a refuge for birds of prey. But what draws thousands of hikers there every fall is the fall migration. They have and maintain over eight miles of trails that take you to various lookouts.
