Description

In addition to being one of the best spots to watch hawks in the American Southwest, the Manzano Mountains HawkWatch provides optimal leaf-peeping. Every autumn, the mountainside is ablaze with the aspen and scrub oak fall foliage. HawkWatch International began standardized annual migration counts in the Manzano Mountains in 1985, followed by a banding project in 1990—making this HWI’s second oldest count site.
