College Creek Hawkwatch

The 18th consecutive season of the College Creek Hawkwatch has begun. It's the only regular late winter/spring hawk migration count in VA and is conducted by CVWO. The site is about 3 miles east of Williamsburg, on the Colonial Parkway, on the James River...volunteers will continue until late May, usually recording birds from about 9-1 daily, weather permitting, as migration at the site has proven to be generally a morning event. Results are posted to the Hawkcount.org site, operated by the Hawk Migration Association of North America. Today, there were 4 Turkey Vultures, a Black Vulture and 3 Bald Eagles recorded crossing the river.
