# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Nighthawk Watch
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us anytime on Aug 25 between 6pm - 7:30pm! A New York State designated Species of Greatest Conservation Need, the Common Nighthawk is neither common (outside of migration) nor a hawk and is experiencing declines throughout many parts of its breeding range including New York.

With a 2-foot wingspan and a habit of feeding in the air near the ground, Common Nighthawks are easy to spot. Dozens to hundreds of the birds have been seen during migration as they feed in flight over the preserve. We invite you to join us and the Hudson-Mohawk Bird Club in the Discovery Center parking lot to see science in action and help us count Common Nighthawks flying over the preserve as they continue on their over 6,000-mile southward migration. 

Feel free to come any time between 6pm and 7:30pm!
Suitable for tweens, teens and adults.

Rain date: Wednesday August 26, 2026 from 6:00pm – 7:30pm
