Chelan Ridge Hawk Watch

Hawk Watch International (HWI) and the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest have teamed up to monitor and learn more about raptors migrating through the eastern Cascades. HWI began standardized counts at the site in 1998 following exploratory surveys in 1997.
The Chelan Ridge site is located on the border of the Methow and Chelan Districts of the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest, approximately 13 miles northwest of Chelan. I visited the site last month.
