Chelan Ridge, Washington

This site, located in the Cascade Range northeast of Seattle, is one of only a few places where hawks using the Pacific Flyway are counted. Chelan Ridge is far enough to the north to get regular visits from Northern Goshawks and Rough-legged Hawks. The site itself is managed as a cooperative effort by the Okanogan National Forest, the Falcon Research Group, and Hawkwatch International.
