I'm not sure why but this was a poor year for eagles in north central Indiana.
Most have left now hope next year is better.

I could never understand how they can count birds - good for them. I feel sorry for the loaners. :cry:

Dave, Hawks Ridge is actually in Duluth but on the very north side. The Hawks Ridge website has detailed maps of the best observation pounts and how to get there. The website has scheduling information, as well. If you are planning on taking your camera gear there for photo ops, visit the web site to help the planning part.

Bill, where do they cross Lake Erie - east end or west end. The hawk flow thru Duluth is to avoid a Lake Superior crossing. Are there any other major flyways between east Minnesota and Hawk Mountain, PA?
