The Hawks Are Coming

This weekend is Hawkfest at Lake erie Metro Park. Show up any time to try and spot a kettle. A kettle of hawk is a large circle of 10 to 40 birds soaring on updrafts and generally making their way south. Much easier than going the direct route. If the timing is right there should be many kettles spotted along with other single nomad hawks.
Check out the schedule of activities.

You can purchase Hawkfeast breakfast tickets in advance for $3.50 or pay $5 at the door. There will be many birdwatchers there along with many vendors plying their wares. There's no charge to take in many of the events, only the park permit is needed. If you can't make it to Lake Erie Metro just look up in the sky this weekend and try to spot a kettle.

Get Outdoors Downriver.
