Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Pennsylvania
Kempton, Pennsylvania.
Hawk Mountain Sanctuary is a 2,600-acre natural area in southeastern Pennsylvania that is famous as the world's first refuge for birds of prey. Today, visitors flock to Hawk Mountain each autumn to watch the annual hawk migration. Between August 15 and December 15 an average 18,000 raptors fly past its ridgetops, often at eye-level. Scenic overlooks range from 1,300 to 1,500 feet in elevation offering spectacular views. By mid-August the first bald eagle signals the beginning of the fall raptor migration, followed by ospreys, and American kestrels. Thousands of broad-winged hawks pass in mid September, and October brings as many as 16 species of raptors. A total of 235 species of birds have been sighted at or near this bird-watching mecca.

Wonderful shot David. Beautifully framed by the rocks (great texture,light, and shadow there) and then the shadows of the clouds carry throughout. v

Lovely landscape with a far reaching vision of land and sky, David. The close view rocks are crisp while the tree details farther away are lost. The shadows add great contrast with change of color to the mid section and also leads your eye out away from the details in front of you.v/f/fb
