More About Hawk Watch Fest

Rain date: Sunday, September 27
Get ready for a day of EXTREMELY awesome hawk watching, birding, live raptors, music, family activities, and HAWK ROCK!
Greenwich Audubon Center is thrilled to present its annual celebration of birds of prey and their incredible migratory journeys.
Meet hawks and owls up close during live raptor presentations, and learn how to identify the hawks and other raptors flying overhead during workshops led by our naturalists.
Enjoy live music from special guests and birding social media celebrities Tommy Siegel and Billy Libby of Extremely Accurate Birds, along with live bluegrass music by Mill River. Delicious pizza will also be available from Greenwich's own Grigg Street Pizza.
Throughout the day, children can explore the wonders of raptor migration through the Great Migration Game, owl pellet dissections, bird-themed crafts, and other family-friendly activities.
