Hello neighbors! Mt. Ascutney State Park is delighted to host a special program featuring the Vermont Institute of Natural Science on Sunday, October 1 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm: Bird's Eye View at Mt. Ascutney State Park - Hawk Watch with VINS.

The Connecticut River Valley is a major flyway for migrating birds of prey, and Mt. Ascutney is an ideal place to catch a glimpse of them. Join us at the summit trailhead to mingle with VINS researchers during their Hawk Watch season on the mountain! Activities will include a meet and greet with a live raptor from the VINS rehabilitation facility and an opportunity to watch for migrating hawks through spotting telescopes at the summit parking area overlook.
