The Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve in Duluth, Minnesota
is one of North America's best places to experience the spectacle
of the fall raptor migration. Migrating birds, including raptors
and passerines, concentrate in impressive numbers at the western
tip of Lake Superior. Some travel from as far away as the Arctic
and pass through Duluth on their way to their wintering areas to
the south. Reluctant to cross a large body of water, migrants funnel
down the North Shore along the ridges that overlook the city. On
a good day, visitors may see hundreds—even thousands—of
birds flying by!
Come and celebrate the migration at our annual Hawk
Weekend Festival!
