College Creek Hawkwatch
This is the view south, across the James River from College Creek Hawkwatch, near Williamsburg. We'll start our 25th season March 1st and operate on as many days, weather permitting, as our volunteeers can through May. We count birds crossing the river headed north. Turkey Vultures are our best customers, comprising about one-half to two-thirds of the seasonal totals.
