Last Saturday we took a day trip to Hawk Mountain. It's a private hawk and falcon reserve in the Poconos - about 1.5 hours from us. The fall foliage is just starting too so we had some great hiking. This spot in the mountains is on the path of migration for hawks and falcons, and in the 1930s, it was a popular hunting spot - too popular as it actually started to deplete the populations of birds of prey in the area. So, one woman created this preserve - right off the Appalachian trail - and it's a great spot for bird watching now. It was busy with lots of hikers and watchers. We had a fabulous time!
