Return to Mahogany Rock Hawk Watch
After a brief hiatus due to Blue Ridge Parkway closures, the naturalists of Blue Ridge Discovery Center returned to the windy overlook last month where we stationed ourselves for the 2026 Mahogany Rock Hawk Watch. Over the course of 13 days, we spotted 595 individuals across 12 species!
RAPTORS OF HARVEY'S KNOB HAWK WATCH
This project is a partnership with the Community School of Roanoke and Harvey's Knob Hawk Watch. 5th, 6th and 7th graders of the Community School in Roanoke, VA diligently observed and illustrated the raptors at Harvey's Knob Hawk Watch.
