Greenwich Audubon: Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch
Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch at Greenwich Audubon Center is a premier location in Connecticut for observing migrating raptors and a wide variety of songbirds. The watch runs daily from 9 am to 5 pm. Stop by anytime.
Since 1971, migrating hawks have been counted by volunteers as they pass over Quaker Ridge Hawk Watch. In 1985, the Audubon Society of Greenwich hired a full-time watcher for the site. Now, the Greenwich Audubon Center hires a paid hawk watcher for the site every year.
The significant number of migrating raptors that are observed here each year is one of the key reasons why the Greenwich Audubon Center Main Sanctuary is designated an Important Bird Area.
