About this event
Join a park ranger for the chance to see birds of prey like Osprey, Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagles and more as they fly over the dunes during fall migration. Learn to identify them and join a community of other hawk watchers as we appreciate the magic of raptors in flight! Meet at Battery Harris at Fort Tilden, and be prepared to be on your feet, or feel free to bring a folding chair with you. We will have to hike up a narrow sandy trail with a short uphill to reach ou r viewpoint, or up a long staircase, and from there enjoy the rest of the show.
