Join the Methow Valley Ranger District, North Central Washington Audubon Society, and HawkWatch International for a free family event to learn about and celebrate raptors as they journey to winter territories. Shop vendors, see live birds, and take a field trip to the spectacular Chelan Ridge Raptor Migration Site.
This festival is scheduled to coincide with the peak of southbound raptor migration at Chelan Ridge—the best place in Washington to view fall migrating raptors. All three partners have a mission to provide education to our communities, and this hands-on event is a great opportunity.
During the day, shuttles will run from Pateros to Chelan Ridge, where families, bird lovers, and learners of all ages will be able to see raptors like Sharp-shinned Hawks up close before they are banded and released. This is an amazing experience with environmental education and interpretation conducted by an on-site educator, Forest Service personnel, and other volunteers.
Information will be updated on this website as the festival approaches. You may also check out the HawkWatch International website, for more fascinating information about their ongoing studies at the Chelan Ridge site.
To pre-register for the field trips leaving from Pateros and to reserve a space in the shuttle to Chelan Ridge, please call 509-731-4790.
