Raptor Observations:


Non-raptor Observations:
Matthews- Winters park and the trail to the Hawk Watch are closed until further notice due to an active wild fire on the hogback ridge. The fire burned up to the site but did not burn the vegetation or Hawk Watch information signs at observation. The County reports they expect to be working to contain the fire at least through Monday April 3. We will provide updates each day when possible.
