Hawk Watching continues - Located at Harvey's Knob Overlook, milepost 95.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. From September through November, our club and the Lynchburg club report data on the hawk migration at Harvey's Knob Overlook on the Blue
Ridge Parkway. All are welcome to join our resident hawk watchers to see how it is done. Bring a lawn chair, binoculars, and a spirit of adventure
for learning about the annual hawk migration. You are welcome to show up any day, arrive and leave when you like, and even though you may not
be ready to ID each hawk as it passes, extra eyes are ALWAYS needed.
