About this title

Synopsis

Hawk Mountain: The World s First Raptor Sanctuary is a full-color celebration of the birthplace of raptor conservation located along the Appalachian Flyway in east-central Pennsylvania. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of its founding in 1934, informative text and joyous photography come together to enlighten and envelop us in the majesty of the mountain and the raptors that frequent it.
Experience the sense of wonder looking out on the vast and exhilarating views from Hawk Mountain s North Lookout, the front of hawk-migration research and home to one of the world s greatest natural air shows, as raptors migrate past Hawk Mountain each fall and can be seen in these pages again and again any time of year.
