Hood and see LIVE raptors up close and personal. You can even take home a piece of Mt. Hood by purchasing this year’s migration t-shirt, which celebrates 30 years of hawkwatching at Bonney Butte.

Registration is requested, but not required, for this free, family-friendly event. This helps us plan for how many hawkwatchers to expect!
