Does anyone have suggestions on where to view the annual hawk migration and when to see it? I'd like to plan a hike that would coincide with it this fall. I've heard people mention Hawk Mountain(?) which I believe is in Pennsylvania -- any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance- Clark Petrie att!mtuxo!cdp (201) 576-6086

Thanks in advance- Hawk Mountain sanctuary is near Drehersburg, PA; should be marked on most highway maps---go west from Allentown. Also try to find a copy of Pettingill's ``Gird to Bird Finding (East)''; it gives full directions to Hawk Mountain. Better yet, Pettingill's book gives directions to an excellent site not far from Hawk Mountain that is less crowded: see his directions to Bake Oven Knob. The people that go there are pretty expert; one of them wrote a book on hawk watching (forgot his name, though). -- John Shipman/Zoological Data Processing/Socorro, New Mexico USENET: ucbvax!unmvax!nmtsun!john CSNET: john@nmtsun.nmt.edu ``You have to stop listening in categories.

Thanks in advance- Hawk Mountain is a possibility, it is west of Allentown, an exit off I-78. (I forget which). Problem is construction may cause delays getting there... From Monmouth County, you may want to consider going down to Cape May. -- James C. Armstrong, Jr nyssa@terminus.UUCP
