The Allegheny Front Hawk Watch is closed to the public until you see it posted here.

Our Fall 2011 Migration was one of our best ever. We had the most golden eagles of any year. Had the most in the state this Fall (and we are still trying to determine whether we had the most ever). We also had the largest bald eagle count for the Fall. We will update our results once we have finalized our numbers.

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

Spring 2012 Outings and Meetings

Spring hawk watch---February 25 to May 10- The AFHW is one of the few Spring Hawk Watches in the Eastern US. The first birds to come through are Golden Eagles and among the last are Broad-winged Hawks. It’s also a time of year that we can really use spotters (it’s a big sky and its easy to miss high flying birds) so anyone can be a spotter.

April 19---- APAS Meeting, 7:00, UPJ Campus, Science & Engineering Building, Main Lobby... Dunnings Creek Wetlands Update—This will be a presentation by Tom Dick on the wildlife of Dunnings Creek Wetlands and what we’ve learned over the years about this massive project.

May 17—APAS Meeting, 7:00, UPJ Campus, Science & Engineering Building, Main Lobby... The Everglades--- Gene Wingert (if you remember, our great speaker on Vernal Ponds) will give an unusual presentation that links the Everglades to our area. Gene is one of our top speakers!
