Westman Naturalists - Spring Hawk Watch

Saturday, Apr 11, 2026 at 9:00AM

North of Virden

Many species are making their way north for migration, and this weekend in April should give us a chance to see plenty of hawks riding thermals over the Assiniboine Valley north of Virden! We held our first spring hawk watch last year, so we'll see how the numbers compare a year (plus a week) later!

Please bring a lawn chair if you have one, we will be sitting at one spot for a few hours. Snacks, coffee, etc. are a good idea, along with binoculars, camera, and/or a scope! We expect to be watching hawks until just after lunch or thereabouts.

Participation: Please complete this short form to sign-up for this event. We will email you with specific details a day or so before the event. Car pooling might be available.
