Welcome Hawk Watch Sit at Cypress Mountain
This event is part of the Welcome Walk series. It has been re-scheduled to Thursday because of weather.
Description: Join us for a fun, relaxed afternoon of stationary hawk watching on Cypress Mountain! Let’s look to the skies to watch the hawk migration.

At the end of our session, we will engage in citizen science and submit our observations to eBird to contribute to a valuable set of scientific data.
