CASCO — The arrival of mid-September’s cooler weather coincides with New England’s largest hawk migration of the year, and Loon Echo Land Trust biologist Paul Miller will lead a migration watch at Hacker’s Hill Preserve in Casco Saturday, Sept. 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Numerous species of hawks begin their seasonal migration around this time, and under ideal conditions, birders have seen more than 1,000 in a day.
Optimal conditions for migrating hawks are a northwest breeze with clear skies. In past years, many varieties of hawks have been observed along with bald eagles and osprey.
This program is free and open to the public as part of the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend. Bring a lawn chair, binoculars, water and snacks.
Parking is available by driving to the top of the road into Hacker’s Hill Preserve on Quaker Ridge Road, approximately one mile from the Route 11 intersection and four miles from the Route 302 intersection. Please park in the “Event Parking” area to the right of the summit.
