 Ace hawk-watcher Judy Cinquina reports:

    Mount Peter had another good
day yesterday, Thursday Sept. 18. I don’t  yet have the official report, but Broadwing
numbers were approaching  1,000 when I
left the mountain. We had our first Golden Eagle yesterday, an immature, and a couple
of Bald Eagles.

 Fyke member, Denise Farrell is the
official counter on Mount Peter
tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 20, and she’s
looking for some support from Fyke members to spot incoming hawks.
   The best
parking is across from the Creamery. The short dirt road up to the lookout lot
is badly pot-holed.

The lookout is located on the top
of 17A, between Greenwood Lake and Warwick, N.Y., and is marked by a pair of
microwave towers.
   To reach the lookout, take Route 17 North through Tuxedo to 17A and
turn left. Follow 17A past Sterling Forest, up the mountain and into Greenwood Lake.

   Keep right when you reach the lake and follow 17A up the second mountain.
   When
you reach the top, you will see a sign for homemade ice cream ahead. Turn right
at the ice cream shop onto Kain Road and turn right again up the pot-holed dirt road
to the lot or park down below.
