September is a great time to observe migration of all types of birds, especially hawks and raptors. These captivating predators are best observed from high ridges. For this birding trip, we will meet at WRI and load up in our van for a one-hour drive up to Sugarloaf Peak. We will hike roughly 0.5 miles up the unpaved road to reach our destination at the top. Once at the peak, we’ll settle in and scan the skies for migrating birds!

You’ll learn about these fascinating birds and their migration from WRI Educator, Tucker Jonas, and ornithologist, Neil Paprocki. Plan to sit on rocks and hang out near the summit for about 3 hours.
