Please help support Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory in continuing the bird conservation efforts at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve for the next 50 years with your purchase of this special limited edition 50th anniversary shirt today! The Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve was established in 1972, which also was the first year of the full-time standardized fall raptor migration count and raptor banding research. For over 50 years, the bird migration research and education efforts have continued thanks to the dedication and passion of many involved. The long-term data from Hawk Ridge has served as a key tool in better understanding the health of raptor populations, science of migration, habitat management, and bird conservation. Education staff have inspired and connected people of all ages from around the world to the beauty and importance of birds in ecosystems. Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is working hard today to continue this important research and education. Thank you for your support and find out more at https://hawkridge.org!
