<< Hi Tweeters! I'm a novice tweeter and can't seem to get posted w/o
problems
but I will try again. Also relatively new at birding. Would some of you
skilled and experienced folks be willing to share some details on how to
find
the best spots for hawk watching at Cape Flattery? Where to camp? Where
to
find the trail head? Where to find James Swan's carving in the cliff? etc?
Phone numbers? Thanks: Hans Krauss; Spokane, WA; hkrauss787 at aol.com

The Cape Flattery Hawk Watch is just starting. The full time watcher from
Hawk Watch International is Len Liu. There will be someone at the site
except when Mt Bohokus is socked in as long as the hawks are moving. Hawk
counts are higher on good weather days especially a series of them. Trying to
figure just when that will happen is most difficult. Visitors are welcome and
will be asked to help. The hawks pop up from all compass points though on a
given day there is a general tendency for most of them to follow the same
pattern.
To reach the site drive to Neah Bay. The road is slow (and right now WA
112 is closed at the Pysht River due to flooding). The only way now open is
to take US 101 to Sappho and go south to Clallam Bay and on out to Neah Bay.
In Neah Bay go as far west as possible and then take the paved road south
(there are a variety of simple signs at the intersection - probably say
something like Cape Trails - sorry to be so imprecise). You take the first
gravel road to the right which is a mile or two. It is a road not a logging
trail. There is a graffiti covered danger sign going back to its days as a
military base. You procede uphill until you seen antennas. When you get level
or even with them turn left to the end of the road. Not much moves before
9AM.
Welden and Virginia Clark are the main force behind this operation. Their
phone is (360) 683-1087. Ken Wiersma and I can also give information. Ken's
phone is (360) 683-4763 and mine is (360) 928-3053.
I know nothing about James Swan's cliff carving.
The Clarks may have noted the post and already have given a more informed
response. I access with a flashsession so run behind on the posts.
