In this area of Vermont the best hawk watching is during the second and third week of September. The numbers of birds migrating south varies each day based on temperatures, winds, and precipitation. The best are clear days with a slight north wind and temperatures warm enough to create thermals. Of course, even if there aren't many birds, hiking to the tops of mountains in Vermont this time a year is pretty spectacular. #hawkwatching #hawkmigration #optoutside #birdwatching #champlainvalley #vermont #waterbottletravelingvermont (at Snake Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFN6xMjh0ri/?igshid=lz254orvckkc
