Hawk Talk & Banding Demonstration

Come to Hawk Hill in the Marin Headlands and get an up-close view of the fall raptor migration with the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory (GGRO), a cooperative program of the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and National Park Service.

A GGRO docent gives an hour-long talk about hawk monitoring and identification using photos and other props. At 1 pm, a newly banded wild hawk is brought up and shown to the crowd. After a volunteer discusses GGRO’s banding program, the hawk is released.

No registration necessary, meet on top of Hawk Hill at noon.

Heavy fog or rain cancels. For more information, visit www.parksconservancy.org/ggro or call (415) 331-0730.
