Event Description

One of the most exciting parts of fall migration takes place on Fire Island. Biologist Eric Powers will lead our walk as we look for various species of hawks and falcons as well as migrating monarch butterflies and dragonflies. There are eight hawk watches within a 50-mile radius of NYC. The Fire Island Hawk Watch is unique in that it takes place on a barrier beach. Please dress for the weather. Heavy rain will cancel the event. Location is Robert Moses State Park, Hawk Watch Platform at Field Five, Fire Island. You must provide your own transportation to and from Fire Island.
