FULL EVENT INFORMATION:
Birds will be migrating to their winter homes. October is the month where the largest of the raptors–like Bald and Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks, Rough-legged Hawks, and Northern Goshawks–migrate through Hawk Ridge. Come join us on fall World Migratory Bird Day to celebrate this movement and indicator of changing seasons!
We welcome people of all ages, abilities, and disabilities to attend this accessible bird observation event at Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, 3980 E Skyline Parkway in Duluth.
**American Sign Language interpretation is provided.
