updated 2/4/2010 

The Spring Raptor Migration Count  at the Allegheny Front Hawk Watch begins mid February 

Access to the Front can be difficult in this early season.  We will do what we can to advise you of the status of the Front and whether it is open.  As of 2/4/10 the front is still closed!

Check out our hawk watch page for details!!

The results of our hawk migration counts are posted on HMANA's hawcount.org website. 

Click this link to see reports of our migration counts at hawkcount.org.

Please note... The Allegheny Front Hawk Watch is on private property whose owners have graciously allowed us to conduct our counts.  We expect everyone to respect the landowners' rights and to cooperate with the counter and other APAS members' requests.  You are welcome to the front when there are activities there but the watch and front are otherwise closed to the public.  In general, do not enter the property if the blue gate is closed.


Check out the APAS Bulletin Board for more information on topics related to our work and interests.
