Live At Kiptopeke




We've loved having so many excellent in-person visitors at Kiptopeke Hawkwatch this fall! While being at the hawkwatch in person is certainly the most enjoyable way to stay up-to-date with what we're seeing, we know that there are many folks who, for one reason or another, won't be able to make it this time around or who simply would like to know what we're seeing once they leave the platform. The good news is that we offer two ways for folks to see what we've been observing - even at a distance!

The first is Hawkcount.org - Kiptopeke's numbers can be accessed here by selecting "Find a Hawkwatch" on the left-hand side, choosing "Virginia" then "Kiptopeke Hawkwatch" and then selecting the "Monthly" or "Daily" tab on the left-hand side. The second is Dunkadoo.org - numbers can be accessed here by selecting "Explore" at the top, then finding Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory tab on the map and selecting it. Both of these websites provide real-time updates for what we're observing throughout the day!

These numbers will be updated daily through November 30th, the official end of the season. 

Happy birding!
