2022 Mahogany Rock Hawk Watch


  • Mahogany Rock Overlook 39273 Blue Ridge Pkwy Sparta, NC, 28675 United States (map)

At the Mahogany Rock Hawk Watch migration site, viewers can count an inspiring 6,121 raptors in just one day! This year we will return to Mahogany Rock for the 2022 annual count to hopefully spot raptors “kettling” in the thermal updrafts and making their way south for the winter.

The height of activity is between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. BRDC staff will be on site during these times from September 23-26. Anyone is welcome to join! Learn how to identify species by silhouette and flight pattern, and contribute to citizen science while witnessing the wonder of fall migration. Bring a lawn chair, sack lunch, water, and binoculars if you have them.
