Question about hawk migration (1 Viewer)

[JoeGBirder]

Can I see migrating hawks in the Albany, NY, area? I see red tailed hawks still but I would love to see them in large numbers, which I have not yet. if I can, any tips on where I should go birding to see this?

Franklin Mt. in Oneonta may not be too far, their season is right about now for Golden Eagles and Red-tailed Hawks. See this link below for info (HawkCount.org is a great website in general):

In spring, though, you can't beat sites on the Great Lakes such as Braddock Bay and Derby Hill!

There is also a hawkwatch at John Boyd Thacher State Park which is very close to Albany. The best season is early Fall/September and Broadwing Hawks are their specialty.

The best place is Derby Hill
