X-WR-CALDESC:Each fall thousands of hawks\, eagles\, and falcons fly along 
 a high ridge above Lake Chelan on their way to winter territories. Join We
 natchee River Institute for a field trip to the Chelan Ridge Hawkwatch Int
 ernational (HWI) observation point to witness this amazing spectacle. Chel
 an Ridge HWI is located in the USFS Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.\n
 \nLearn about raptor biology and hone your identification skills by assist
 ing researchers as they count passing hawks!\n\nDuring the excursion\, you
  will hear from local biologists about the why of these migrations\, as we
 ll as the how it all relates to habitat and land management. While visitin
 g the field station\, biologists will be working the trapping blind provid
 ing for a rare\, close-up opportunity to witness a live bird capture\, ban
 ding\, and release. Participants will also gather data in an effort to gle
 an information about the health of North America’s raptor populations.\n\n
 After exploratory surveys in 1997 at Chelan Ridge HawkWatch\, in partnersh
 ip with the USFS Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in 1998 HWI began annu
 al counts at the Chelan Ridge site. These counts helped to monitor the rap
 tors and learn more about their migration through the East Cascades of Was
 hington State within the Pacific Coast Flyway. HWI has been banding raptor
 s at Chelan Ridge since 2001\, while also using the site to conduct satell
 ite-tracking research.\n\nEach season\, counts typically range between 2\,
 000-3\,000 migrating birds of up to 17 species. The most commonly seen spe
 cies are the Sharp-shinned Hawk\, Red-tailed Hawk\, Cooper's Hawk\, Northe
 rn Harrier\, Golden Eagle\, and American Kestrel. \n\nField Trip Cost: WRI
 -Members $45\, Non-Member $60\, with WRI Otter Van transportation included
 . Participants will leave from the Wenatchee River Institute campus in Lea
 venworth at 8am\, or from the Penny Road Park & Ride in Wenatchee at 8:45a
 m. Please pack a lunch\, snacks and water\, and be prepared to hike for 30
  minutes at approximately 6000 feet elevation. Be prepared for possible wi
 ndy and cold weather.\n\nCapped at 13 participants.\n\nPhoto courtesy Chel
