Nighthawk Nights: A Migration Celebration

Duluth is the best place in the world to watch Common Nighthawk migration. Each summer from mid-August to early September, these birds fly right over Duluth neighborhoods, traveling several thousand miles on their journey to South America. Bring the whole family and join Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory for two evenings of Nighthawk-filled fun, discovery and learning and celebrate the migration of the Common Nighthawk.

Pick up a Nighthawk Nights Passport and migrate through challenges, scavenger hunts, crafts, a research presentation from Steve Kolbe (Avian Ecologist & Common Nighthawk expert) and so much more. Get your passport stamped at each station to be entered into a prize drawing to win Hawk Ridge merchandise. Attend both evenings and fill out the passport and earn a second entry into the raffle.

Bring water, snacks, lawn chair, insect repellent, extra layers, and binoculars Hawk Ridge will provide loaner binoculars if needed.
