Leader: Gabriel Willow
Schedule: 1:00 to 3:00 pm
Public Transportation: Belvedere Castle, Central Park. Meet at the steps just north of the Belvedere Castle plaza that overlook Turtle Pond.
Relative difficulty: Easy, stationary viewing from one location. You can sit on the steps or stand.

Registration is not required for this hawk watch.

Please join fellow Linnaean Society members to watch for hawks from the viewing platform next to Belvedere Castle overlooking Turtle Pond in Central Park.

Target Raptors: Broad-Wing Hawk, American Kestrel, Sharp-shined Hawk, Cooper’s Hawk, Bald Eagle and Osprey.

Conditions look decent and although nothing in birdwatching is guaranteed, the timing is right, the winds are forecast from the right direction. Come join us, and help scan the skies.
