Join the feathered festivities at Hawk Ridge and Hawk Cliff Woods—where birdwatching meets belly laughs and butterfly talks!

Get ready to spread your wings and join in the excitement as Hawk Weekend takes flight at legendary birding spots! Hawk Ridge in Duluth, Minnesota is rolling out the red carpet for bird enthusiasts, as this weekend promises an extraordinary experience with hawk viewing taking center stage. The event will showcase the majestic migration of these magnificent raptors, offering the perfect opportunity for birdwatching aficionados and families alike to enjoy a day in the great outdoors.

But that's not all—Hawk Cliff Woods is also joining the fun with its own Migration Weekend, starting Saturday! In addition to the awe-inspiring sight of hawks soaring through the sky, visitors can relish in activities including fascinating hawk talks that will unravel the mysteries of these avian wonders. Families can engage in interactive Monarch butterfly discussions, while children can indulge their artistic sides with some face painting. Guided hikes through a meadow restoration project will also be available, allowing attendees to connect with nature in spectacular fashion.

And if you're not just there for the birds, rest assured that the excitement doesn't end there! Families will find activities for all ages. Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher with binoculars in hand or just someone looking to soak up some sun while learning about nature, this event is designed for everyone. Swing by to catch the hawk talks to leave with newfound knowledge about these spectacular creatures!

As we soar towards the end of this avian adventure, let’s not forget the silent but essential role Monarch butterflies play. Did you know that these colorful insects can travel 3,000 miles during migration? Their journey is just as remarkable as that of the hawks! And speaking of hawks, they can spot movements from over a mile away, thanks to their excellent vision. So, bring your family, grab your binoculars, and don't miss out on the weekend that’s sure to take flight with excitement!
