Birding

Members of Jacks Mountain Hawkwatch, above Belleville, record the number and species of raptors in the area, with over 5,000 annual sightings.

Different habitats, from high ridges and pastures to woodlands and riverbanks, support impressive avian diversity. Raptors, owls, woodpeckers, gulls, warblers, thrushes, finches, sparrows, flycatchers, waders and shorebirds are just a few of the beautiful birds you may see.
