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
 \nDuring the excursion\, you will hear from local biologists about these m
 igrations\, as well as the how it all relates to habitat and land manageme
 nt. While visiting the field station\, biologists will be working the trap
 ping blind providing for a rare\, close-up opportunity to witness a live b
 ird capture\, banding\, and release. Participants will also gather data in
  an effort to glean information about the health of North America’s raptor
  populations.\n\nAfter exploratory surveys in 1997 at Chelan Ridge HawkWat
 ch\, in partnership with the USFS Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest in 19
 98 HWI began annual counts at the Chelan Ridge site. These counts helped t
 o monitor the raptors and learn more about their migration through the Eas
 t Cascades of Washington State within the Pacific Coast Flyway. HWI has be
 en banding raptors at Chelan Ridge since 2001\, while also using the site 
 to conduct satellite-tracking research.\n\nEach season\, counts typically 
 range between 2\,000-3\,000 migrating birds of up to 17 species. The most 
 commonly seen species are the Sharp-shinned Hawk\, Red-tailed Hawk\, Coope
 r's Hawk\, Northern Harrier\, Golden Eagle\, and American Kestrel. \n\nFie
 ld Trip Cost: WRI-Members $35\, Non-Member $50\, with WRI Otter Van transp
