My Column: State Line Hawk Watch
A view of State Line Lookout and the Hudson River beyond in Alpine. By Jim WrightSpecial to The Record |…
Made my first trip to the State Line Hawk Watch in Alpine during fall migration and was treated to a great little show, including a mini-kettle of a dozen Broad-wings, a Gray Ghost, an immature Bald Eagle overhead (above, of course), a local Peregrine, an Am. Kestrel, a Coop and a Sharpie and more.
The view was not chopped liver either.
