Join us for a special Tuesdays with Tom, we will travel to Robert Moses State Park to join the Hawk Watch.

For over 40 years,  the Robert Moses Hawk Watch has recorded thousands of migrating raptors that pass through Long Island on their way south.  There is a dedicated viewing platform where volunteers count birds as they fly overhead.  October is the peak time for this migration and ospreys, red-tailed hawks, all three accipiters,  and the three falcons may be seen. Also, bald eagles are becoming more common.
