Hawk Watch at Bonney Butte

Hawk watches are conducted along migration routes and collect important information on how these species are doing.  Hannah and Erik visited the hawk watch at Bonney Butte in the Mount Hood National Forest to check it out!

Hannah and Erik were given behind-the-scenes access to be able to share some of the nitty-gritty details of what Hawkwatch does, the bird blind that we visited is typically not open to visitors to the site.

*The audio is a bit quiet due to the environmental conditions*
