Duluth, Minnesota
The Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve in Duluth, Minnesota is one of
North America's best places to experience the spectacle of the fall
raptor migration. Migrating birds, including raptors and passerines,
concentrate in impressive numbers at the western tip of Lake
Superior. Some travel from as far away as the Arctic and pass
through Duluth on their way to their wintering areas to the south.
Reluctant to cross a large body of water, migrants funnel down the
North Shore along the ridges that overlook the city. On a good day,
visitors may see hundreds—even thousands—of birds flying
by!
Come and celebrate the migration at our annual Hawk Weekend!
More details to come Summer 2010.
All activities at the Hawk Ridge Main Overlook
are open to the public; everything else requires registration. For
