Hawk Watch Saturday November 26, 2011

posted by Melissa Roach | 5:53 PM

The Hawk Watch is starting to wind down with only 4 more days left..even though it felt like October today with warmer weather. So if you still haven't quite gotten your raptor fix yet, you still have a few more days to come visit the counter on the platform.
