Red-tailed hawk flying above Merchants Millpond State Park

Come observe the midday skies for hawks and other raptors as part of Haw River State Park's annual Christmas Bird Count. A park ranger and birding expert will be onsite, so if you're looking for a new outdoors hobby or just want to see some wildlife, drop in between 1-3pm for a great opportunity to get all of your birding questions answered.
